Maineville, OH | Why not just allow what you want???
Seems easier to open up what you want access to, rather than blocking all of the individual stuff. Sounds like a lot of work for little return considering how easy these things tend to be to circumvent....

No worries Aussies.
The $125.8 million Cyber-Safety filtering system should be able to be defeated easily by running a few private proxies. I'm sure there will be a grass roots effort to help you guys out and then we can all sit back and laugh at the Aussie Govt. blowing $125.8 million on something we all knew was easy to work around in the first place. |

2 edits | Ticking off gamers is not good news...
I wonder how many people the Australian government would be ticking off by blocking gaming. I hope they realize that gamers are probably what make up much of their user base of internet subscribers in the first place, and not only that, but gamers also tend to complain the most as well when something breaks or is messed with (ever crashed out someone's game before?). Oh well. Let the proxies and VPNs blow more Aussie government money!
I would laugh if they were to block access to Nintendo's Wii online servers. Imagine how much more people would be angry by blocking their Wii!

said by chronoss2009 :gonnna be funny a year from now to see game sales tank Actually, it seems the best way to promote a game is to ban it.
Banned games seem to become highly sought after.

The current government in Australia is a liberal nanny state government ala Obama. The Conservatives were voted out of power during the last election. It is a bunch of socialist utopians running Australia now under the Rudd government.
You can thank socialist idealism and their womb to the tomb mentality for this.

Kevin Rudd isn't a socialist. Some of his views can actually be classified as right-leaning and are no different than John Howard. I don't even live in Australia and I know this.
Then again, someone who thinks Obama is a socialist generally shouldn't be commenting on stuff they clearly haven't got a god damn clue about.

| Your right Obama is more of a socialist then Rudd is at the moment. Or have you missed his plans for nationalizing of the auto industry and health care? Or his plans on forcing cap and trade, thereby doubling electric rates?

Or his plans on forcing cap and trade, thereby doubling electric rates? Cap and Trade has nothing to do with socialism so I fail to see your point on that.
As for the auto industry, if it was truly nationalized the American government would own an actual controlling interest and earn a return on said investment. As it stands right now, the government is handing them money with no oversight and no control, and continuing to more or less keep the status quo in check, regardless of what the optics in the media play be saying.
That isn't socialism. That's fascism.
Not that I'm calling Obama a fascist, but you really need to get your ideologies correct before shooting your mouth off. And calling Obama a socialist is not only laughable, it's downright moronic. "Conservatives" in most countries around the world are more "socialist" than Obama or the Democratic Party could ever hope to be.
