Would you be happy knowing that the government has access to your email, Facebook, MySpace and Blog? The new Internet filtering laws supported and backed by parliamentary members may change that face of the virtual world as we know it.
It is known fact that governments all around the world are able to infiltrate and sensor information that is posted on the net. For an example, type in "Tianamen Square Massacre" into Google Australia and then in Google China - you will be amazed in the difference of information that is on the individual sites - this is a classic form of internet sensing and regulation. What is the number one problem with this type of regulation?, a lac of a freedom of information and a big brother attitude on the governments behalf.
It has also been asserted that this form of activity will slow down connections and cost consumers more. It is a scary thought that our activities will be regulated by the governments and that our freedom to information diminished.
I may actually do my essay on this topic - it has deeply compelled me.
Until Next Time.

I agree completely. I really don't think our leaders are ever mindful of the freedom that their citizens deserve. One of my concerns aside from this control over information they want to wield over us is what the state government in S.A. is doing with their anti-biker laws. The consequences could be horrific.
