Keeping this one short (not that I'm a big diary person anyway).
But if you're at all for Net Neutrality, the pending legislation regarding a massive internet filter/firewall in Australia should be of great concern to you.
(con't after the jump)
Australian ISPs get no real say in this, and the latest news is that any kind of peer-to-peer networks are going to be totally blocked (despite legitimate use for bit torrent in business applications. If you've got a big file, it's a great way to share it.)
Read more about the filter and sign on to take action against it (there is a petition--use 2006 as your postal code if you're outside of Australia but want to speak out against this anyway) by clicking here.
The Australian Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force Internet Service Providers [ISPs] to censor the Internet for all Australians. This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and slow down Internet access.
