By a vote of 389 to 128, the proposed censorship law to block child porn has been passed by the German government. Not surprisingly, a member of the conservative party (CDU) announced plans to also check if the law could be extended to include so-called ‘killer games’ like Counterstrike, only two hours after the law was passed

в Австралии же все идет прежним ходом:
The Great Australian Firewall has claimed another victim – some pages of Wikileaks have been added to the blacklist of websites which Australians are not allowed to look at.
с другой стороны, активисты, выступающие против Большого Барьерного Брандмауэра, тут же взяли этот факт на вооружение:
Editors at Wikipedia have removed a link to a blacklisted web site that sat uncontested for over 24 hours in the main body of the Australian regulator’s own Wikipedia entry. The link, which directs readers to a site containing graphic imagery of aborted foetuses, was inserted into ACMA’s Wikipedia entry by a campaigner against Internet filtering to determine whether Australia’s communications regulator had a double-standard when it came to censoring web content. The very same link motivated the regulator to serve Aussie broadband forum Whirlpool’s hosting company with a ‘link deletion notice’ and the threat of an $11,000 fine. Last night, the link became the subject of “warring” between several Wikipedia administrators in the lead up to it’s removal, with administrators saying they didn’t want to be used to prove a point.
попутно вышли и результаты — в сети оказался реестр так называемых вредносных сайтов:
The list contains some 2,395 sites about half of which do not contain child sexual abuse images. It includes online poker sites, fetish, satanic and Christian sites, Wikipedia pages, gay and straight pornography, a travel operator and even the website for a Queensland dentist.
прекрасно, мне кажется. идеальный остров накануне. остров идиотов.

несмотря на закономерно ожидаемый крах, в Австралии, однако, все еще неспокойно:
[Senator] Conroy expanded the list to block Adult R18+ and X18+ web sites, and this week said it would also block sites depicting drug use, crime, sex, cruelty, violence or ‘revolting and abhorrent phenomena’ that ‘offend against the standards of morality.’ Last week an anti-abortion website was added to the blacklist, and Conroy said he was considering expanding the blacklist to 10,000 sites and beyond.
отключат полностью, натурально.

тем временем английские законы становятся еще веселее:
Jenny Willott, Lib Dem MP for Cardiff Central noted that whilst the Internet Watch Foundation focuses on images that can be downloaded – the traditional web route – images accessed through other means, such as streaming, are not within its remit. She asked Mr Starmer (Director of Public Prosecutions): “If someone is watching streaming images online, there would be no actual copy on their computer, so they would not technically be in possession.”
He replied: “It would be for the courts to interpret the meaning of possession. We would proceed on the basis that there should be no such loophole.”
no such loophole, ну да. а фигли. до сих пор, кстати, все еще нет 100%-ного покрытия — жалкие 5% сбивают всю отчетность. так что горизонты перед цензорами великолепные. а и в самом деле ведь, отчего сидят без дела? не всем же в Австралию.
ну, и заодно о музыке, в том же ключе:
Irish internet users are to be blocked from accessing music swapping websites, as internet service providers bow to pressure from the music industry. Eircom, the country’s biggest internet provider, is to start blocking its internet customers from accessing music swapping.
Irish Recorded Music Association has identified Pirate Bay, the world’s biggest file swapping website, as the first site that it will seek to have blocked. It will then move on to ‘‘similar websites’’.

еще про Австралию (мировая общественность замерла в ожидании):
The first phase of Australia’s controversial Internet filters were put in place today, with the Australian government announcing that six ISPs will take part in a six-week pilot. The plan reportedly includes a filter blocking a list of Government-blacklisted sites, and an optional adult content filter, and the government has said it hasn’t ruled out the possibility of filtering BitTorrent traffic. The filters have been widely criticized by privacy groups and Internet users, and people have previously even taken to the streets to protest. While Christian groups support the plan, others say filters could slow down Internet speeds, that they don’t work, and that the plan amounts to censorship of the Internet.
о, Christian groups, я никогда в вас не ошибался.

новости про Австралию не утихают. во-первых, правительство хочет запретить peer-to-peer сети (кто бы сомневался), во-вторых, народонаселение, конечно, протестует и выискивает security flaws, а в-третьих, запуск Большого барьерного фильтра, к радости, пока отложен.
жду продолжения.

Австралия собирается отсоединяться:
The government initiative, funded as part of the government’s $125.8 million cyber safety plan, will impose mandatory ISP-level Internet content filtering nation-wide, and will block Web pages detailed in two blacklists operated by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
замечательная инициатива, само собой (ну да, ну да):
Opponents to the government’s Internet content filtering scheme will take to the streets in a series of protests planned in Australia’s capital cities.
The protests, organised by members from activist groups including the Electronic Freedom Project and Digital Liberty Coalition, will be held at Sydney’s Town Hall, Brisbane Square, Melbourne’s State Library, Adelaide Parliament House, Perth’s Stirling Gardens and at Tasmania’s Parliament Lawns.
так же есть и первые технические подробности.
