Internet filtering in Australia is yet to come in, however give it time and Australia will have filters in place to 
block all content that the government deems inappropriate! Just do a google for filtering in Australia! 

Kindest Regards,

Each individual government seems to control the information the enters or
leaves their borders.    Do a search for "Internet Censorship Wikileaks".
Every government has their own set of morals and standards and politically
motivated black list.  Certainly the USA wants to swagger and force its will
on not only its own people but the entire planet, but they are not alone.
Australia, China, North Korea, Germany........  Etc............  All with
their own agenda.  It would be great if there was ONE entity that controlled
content and each country had to abide by their decisions in order to have
access to the backbone but that's only just a dream at this point.

Dream ? That's a nightmare. It would rapidly lead to the worst of both worlds. Internet rules would be made like 
intellectual property rules, in the dead of night by non-elected government bureaucrats at the behest of corporate 
lobbyists. Study the history of ACTA if you doubt me.

The flat
earth that should be the flow of information needs to be demanded by
everyone.

That's my 13 cents worth.

(Inflation sucks)

But who am I but just a thinking and caring animal of this planet?

Deal all



I want to show you some obstacles that some countries face them every day.



For example when users from Sudan trying to access some web site they will
get a *Forbidden Access Error* message.

And some messages say: you are forbidden to access this web site because
your IP address appears form country black listed due to USA government
policy.



I would like to issue a question here, who controls this Internet?




ThanksTarig
