    auDA Take Down Anti-Internet Filtering Website in Record Time

    Something we knew was on the cards for quite some time has finally materialised. Internet censorship in Australia. Basically someone set up a website to quiz and premote debate on Australias new censorship filter and it was removed the next day. :eek:

    A three hour period was all that was allowed to contest the removal.
    Normally domains in question are given up to 10 days for arbitration to occur

    This naturally raises concerns about outright Internet censorship at worst,

    Collusion between auDA and the government as a possibly, and at best a knee-jerk political reaction by auDA which appears on the face of it like the suppression of political debate in Australia.

    It will only be a matter of time before other countres follow suit,
