Mike Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 As you might know Australia is notoriously difficult with it's classification of games... and now it looks like they're moving towards censoring their Internet usage. Google and Yahoo have joined two Australian organisations calling for a "rethink" of the country's controversial internet filter plans. The Australian government has announced proposals to introduce a mandatory filter which would block all RC (Refused Classification) content. Linky here Are they becoming the new China?! I thought they were a really liberal country and not unlike our dear blighty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 The internet filter was trialled last year. Terrible idea, in my opinion - typical knee-jerk reactionism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take all the censorship for the aussie life style though;) Clockwork Orange was withdrawn by Kubrick himself - not banned by any censorship. When it came out there was an instance of a gang in Manchester (I think) copying the boiler suit/top hat attire and being randomly aggressive. Kubricks wife lifted the 'withdrawal' when he died.
