Check in On Aussie Hypocrisy

The rest of the world continues to watch in contained horror as the Australian government works full steam ahead on plans to censor the internet content accessible within the country all in the name of safety from the online casino gambling industry. Several key Aussie officials are leading the efforts to place content filters at the Internet Service Provider level throughout all of Australia. The United States has balked at the plan, Google voiced serious concerns, and interest groups from around the globe are very concerned about the censorship plan. The issue goes far beyond the online casinos and instead threatens to compromise the freedom of knowledge that the internet provides within the free world – which traditionally does include Australia by definition.

And while there have been no new massive developments in Australia’s plan to censor the online casinos and pornography out of the market, there has also been no indication that Aussie Senator Nick Xenophon has any intention of slowing down his actions to filter through ISPs. The biggest outrage really surfaced earlier in the year when the censorship committee went far beyond just betting online casino and pornography sites on the list and began to block images of women with flat chests (like Kiera Knightly) because it simulates child pornography.

The situation continues to develop rather slowly and the US and other countries are watching Australia closely. Although the desire to block online casinos from the market is quite valid, the method of censoring content is a recipe for disaster and just puts far too much power in the hands of the government.
