For those of you who are interested but not keeping up to date - here's the most recent news story regarding Labour's plans to censor the internet.

Thankfully it's sounding less and less likely that it'll get through.

Good thing too. At least one anti-abortion website has already been blocked. Just imagine what else might get blocked if the government gets it's way. It could block whatever it wanted. Regardless of where you stand on the issues in question - we don't want censorship.

Keep the net free!

Thank goodness for that. As Nick X* said, I agree with the prinicple, but no way can we, in a free society, censor the Internet. Last time I checked, I had an Australian Passport, not a Chinese one!
