    One of the things they talk about in that video on the last page is the "censored websites" list the Australian government has now, which apparently it's illegal to talk about in Australia. Doesn't that seem like a ridiculously over the top thing to do in a "free" society? What's the rationale for it in the first place?

    • the rational is that Australia is sliding down a slippery slope with the USDodecahedron
    • The U.S. however, hasn't so far gone to such extremes as blocking a site.abettertomorrow
    • The Australians seem to be in the same category as the Chinese in this regardabettertomorrow
    • I guess I'm wondering how Australian politicians even justify such mattersabettertomorrow
    • USA hasn't banned it they're just totally black listing it... subtle differenceDodecahedron
    • U.S. has taken down some sites that were engaged in bootlegging stuff, Australia will actually block sites for simply political reasonsabettertomorrow
    • political reasons.abettertomorrow
