Internet Censorship

so there are two things im going to mention.

First is this: http://stormen.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/att-blocks-4chan/
It's been lifted, but the fact that they did this is horrible, i may not like /b/ but NOBODY censors the internet. We control the internet they control irl thats how its supposed to be. I hate /b/ but that doesn't give them the right to block it. If people just shrugged it off as "its just /b/ so what" like some of my friends i've heard are doing, we're basically saying "okay go ahead censor whatever you want we dont care about freedom" and just like that they'll start blocking all sorts of sites.

In a twist on a classic phrase:

"First they came for the pedophiles, and I did not speak out, because I was not a pedophile.

Then, they came for the pirates, and I did not speak out because I was not a pirate.

Then they came for anonymous, and I did not speak out because I was not anonymous.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me."


Point is, Net neutrality and Anonymity is our right. They try to censor us, we will fight back; Channer, Anon, Pirate, or just pissed net user.


it also just so happened they did this the day before Anon's response to Australia's internet-censorship was supposed to be. Coincidence? I think not.

Hello, Kevin Rudd. We are Anonymous. We have been watching you.

It wasn't very long ago since you were elected, was it? The media hype surrounding your future government back in 2007 was incredible. Many of us Australians saw both you and Barack as beacons of potential to bring end to the conservative culture that currently swamps the USA and Australia. Many of us thought otherwise, and it turns out they were right.

You, as a fag-master, have failed us. You are bringing an end to what is the greatest ling between all people; the one thing that can cross all cultural boundaries, can bring people together despite ethnicity, political or religious standings, class or nationality; the largest information transfer ever created.

You, a democratically elected fag-master, have decided to do what only the most power-hungry of all tyrants dare:

You have opted to censor the internet.

This is why we, Anonymous, have decided that this censorship plan should be among our primary targets for eliminination. We have two demands that we consider central to our ideals:

Firstly: We demand the abolition of the censorship plan proposed by the current government. This includes the removal of all targets on the blacklist, and complete abandonment of any further plans and endeavors by the Australian Government to censor the internet.

Secondly: We demand the resignation of the Australian Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Stephen Conroy. This is a man who has no level of understanding of the topic he is dealing with. This is a man who readily supports the abolition of free speech in exchange for social security. This man and his policies go against everything Australia and the western world stand for. As we see it, Stephen Conroy is completely unsuitable of being a minister of Australia, and as such, we demand his dismissal.

Failure to meet these demands will result in our full-fledged wrath. This is not something you want to happen.

Anonymous is the final boss of the Internet. We screw things up where no one else can. We are your doctors, your hairdressers,your brothers and sisters, your closest friends. We are everywhere. We bring pedophiles and animal abusers to justice. We bring the cult of Scientology to it's knees. We find incriminating evidence on vice-presidential candidates, and we work to bring information out of Iran on their current political landscape. To us, you are just a step higher. We will create and make freely available methods to render your censorship plan useless, and let these methods be known to the entire Australian public by ways we will not reveal in this message. We will also leak updated versions of the blacklist as often as we can, ensuring that the people who voted you in know what is being withheld from them.

And as your people slowly begin to realise the veil that their own government is draping around them, they will realise that they voted a tyrant into power.

This is when we will have succeeded in all our goals.

Information is free, Kevin Rudd. We, Anonymous, are not your friends. We may not be the best of people, but the one thing we will unceasingly fight for is the assertion that Information is Free.

Heed our demands, Kevin. This is our nation which you encroach upon. These are uncharted waters for you and your colleagues.

Farewell.

We are Anonymous. We are legion.

We do not forgive, we do not forget.

We are not your friends.

Expect us.

So yeah, hoping Anon can pull it off and stop the bs since if Australia gets away with this, theres no doubt the other nations will follow suit one by one.

I found this on another Forum and found it interesting. Discuss.
 
Alright, so someone came up with a pretty good plan, so here it is:

  1. Someone uploads the video of the message to Kevin Rudd.
  2. All you guise make a script to give it 5 stars and favourite it, while giving it views.
  3. Simultaneously, we DDoS www.australia.gov.au via UDP, with the message as a link to the video. The aim isn't to shut that site down, but to make sure they get the message, hard.
  4. Flood all of the addresses I gave you with abusive comments + actual messages they may want to read. Avoid gore, shock porn, etc.
  5. We insist that the government posts some kind of response that they got the message.
Then, it can go two ways:
If the government responds:

  1. We forward the message to all the major Australian and worldwide media outlets. Quite a few of them should say something about it.
  2. Upload a second video onto Youtube, this one addressed to the Australian public. In case either of them get deleted, we move to metacafe and so on.
  3. And so the war begins...
If the government doesn't respond:

  1. We leave it for a week to wait for a response. If nothing happens, we call in the /b/rothers for a major DDoS on their central servers.
  2. We start sending major shock porn and viruses and etc. to all of Stephen Conroy's official addresses. If anyone finds his dox, you win 20 internets.
  3. We post another message on Youtube, again directed towards the government, as well as the one directed towards the public as previously mentioned.
  4. And so the war begins...

It's up on that site. The internet is everywhere. It is mankind's greatest invention and utterly unstoppable.

In Iran and North Korea, the government blocked all internet from the public. All of it. But not really. Because the internet is everywhere. It's in your house, your tv, your radio, your phones, your computers. And what makes it unstoppable is the billions of people in every part of the world giving themselves to cyberspace at every given moment. These people control the internet and anyone who thinks they can put limitations on it has no idea what he's up against.

With easy to use tools like DDoS, torrents, EFM, viruses, trojans, and billions more, the internet is like a playground where everyone has super death beams and infinity armor.

tl;dr

My opinion. Censor the internet = no pr0n for me. No pr0n for me = not a happy me. Get the idea?
 
Here, here.

I think one of McCain's campaign points was to protect "children" from internet pornography.

Well this is one of these issues that has no clear ansewer. I belive that taking obvious steps to protect truly innocent children is fine (example I should not be able to find hardcore sex images on a google image result page if I was lokking up Hermione Granger or Hanna Montana with the moderate (defult) filter on)

one the other hand I agree that with out internet porn life as we know it might cease to exsist . my suggestion improve the filters of google and other popular search engines but don't ban or censor my ability to look at women showing off their assets. They have the right to show them off and I have the righht to look at them however I remeber the first time i saw a pair of breasts was with the filter on looking for a picture of a M1 Garand Rilfe instead i typed m1 Grande rifle and boom boobies same thing with colt 45 i got pics of drunk topless chicks when i was only like 13 years old way to young to see anymore then the bras in the JcPennys catalog or the boobs in naitonal geographic
 
Ok so guns are ok for a 13 year old but boobs aren't. That sounds fair.

I don't see the need to "protect" children from nudity. We're all human beings. We have *****es and we have breasts (preferably not at the same time.) The human body can be considered a piece of art and censoring anyone from it would be the equivalent of keeping people out of public museums.

Because everyone knows that those "If you are 18, click here!" will TOTALLY deter kids away
 
Censorship is stupid. If a man or woman decides to take pictures and videos of them in demeaning poses in exchange for money, who are we to stop them? If you take away p0rn, you're taking away a person's right to information (because that's what it is when you get down to it) and you're taking away the other person's right to express their self. It's simple: If you don't like it, don't look it up. If you don't want to accidentally stumble upon things of that nature or have your kid looking at them, put a filter on your computer. There's no need for the government to take away the rights of others to satisfy a group of people.
 
yoyolll complained about people not posting. so I'm posting. go spam!

YOYOLLL SHOULD BE CENSORED BECAUSE HE WEARS A SALSA DRESS!
