The Critics Come Out

The Australian government is getting a lot of criticism so far this year as government officials continue with plans to block and ban online casinos from the market through controversial filtering software. Filtering and content censorship is a pretty hot topic these days because the activity is so rampant in China right now and Aussies officials are consistently threatening to pass a proposal into law that would give the Australian government the right to filter any content that the Department of Communications deemed “unfit” for the country. Thankfully, the Department of Communications is asking the people of Australia for their thoughts on this new filtering plan and the feedback is quite far from positive. In fact, the proposal is being attacked by the critics, and rightly so if you’re looking at the situation from a freedom of speech and internet neutrality standpoint – even the online casinos do not justify internet content filtering.

Google has actually come to the rescue to an extent and is also protesting that the Australian government need not place these filtering and content blocks on the country because Google already has content filters in place for pornography and the online casinos as well and reckons that asking the search engines to block questionable content on the international level is far more effective then giving that control over to a single organization within the country.

Australians simply do not want the government to have that level of control over what they can see on the internet – and it goes far beyond the online casinos. Because of the level of control and potential for abuse that this new proposal allows, more than 174 critical comments have already been submitted to the Department of Communications for consideration.
