The secretive Internet filter blacklist held by the communications watchdog Australian Communications and Media Authority has been leaked, revealing the government has understated the amount of banned Web pages by more than 1000. Many legitimate businesses and Web sites have been banned including online poker sites, multiple Wikipedia entries, and Google and Yahoo group pages.

 

This was leaked and posted on http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Leaked_Australian_blacklist_reveals_banned_sites which is down currently, probably due to high demand to the site. A Torrent with the list can be found here.

 

Good Job Aussie Government on giving these websites more advertisement then they could ever buy with this failed attempt at censorship.

i lol'd, but srsly wtf australia, thats not very outback of you.

I love how a lot of the sites don't even work anymore. They did block 4chan's /b/ board at its imgboard.hml url. They even blocked topics on forums and regular porn sites. Now that we can all see what this blacklist really does, which is basically nothing, it really goes to show how idiotic this whole thing is. I'm so damn thankful I don't live in Ausfailia. I mean just look at what other country censors the internet, China, which is well known for its human rights violations and many many problems.

Don't forget about Germany and the UK.

In both Germany and the UK the censorship is optional with some ISP's. The only countries that enforce it at the ISP level are China and faggot muslim countries.

Censorship is futile. People should be given maximum liberties, which is why I am a Libertarian. Who else shares views similar to these?

I'm aware this topic is pretty old right now but I noticed a lot of you (including knob jockey) didn't realize this 'leaked' list was fake and has been confirmed as a fake on national television.

There is indeed apparently an internet censorship program being planned at the moment for Australians though as I've told multiple other Australians it is extremely unlikely it will ever actually be in effect as there would be to many ways around it.
