YouTube's rules already forbid certain videos that would be classified RC, such as sex, violence, bestiality and child pornography. But the RC classification extends further to more controversial content such as information on euthanasia, material about safer drug use and material on how to commit more minor crimes such as painting graffiti.

lol od++'s not gonna like that one bit

What's to like realy!?

if kids are going to do drugs... you better make sure it's as unsafe and uninformed as possible!

haha, australia is turning into china

 

seriously, though, what the fuck is wrong with australia. all this crazy censorship going on, some dusty old conservative dicks on a powertrip or what?

Steven conroy, our communications minister is a christian nutter, as is the PM. This is where the impulse is coming from. It is also a continuation of the track we were on with respect to removing civil liberties during the previous governments anti-t3 ror* policies, so it's a policy in line with the wishes of our security services. It also will be used to aid music and film IP holders, so there's another intrest group that will gain (in their tiny little minds at least) from this filtering program.

* - see what i did there, don't want to be tracked from the thread, causing some filter to deem my net activity worthy of logging.

They like nimbin, it keep the agitators stoned and out of the way. (theory)

Nimbin will get absorbed into greater brisbane eventually. (fact) There's nowhere to hide from these ever expanding mega cities.

this is also the logic behind abstinence education in the united states. it's an lol to think someone actually believes these methods work to prevent drug use and sex. because, you know, teenagers have always obeyed their elders

how long until Australia bans Google?

ACtually, how long until Australia bans internet access altogether then? Wikipedia? that's out, you might see a picture of a vagina on a medical wiki.

News? Stumble across Miley Cyrus little sister and her repulsiveness.

Yo aussies, just turn it into one big intranet that has one page. on that page it will simply say:

"You're Safe"

oh snap! a double cross post

The Netherlands is becoming a victim of its vast population of reactionary, xenophobic and ignorant people and will probably end up getting the government it deserves.

I wasn't even referring to the comic.. The government has mistreated immigrants in the past and the borderline racist political party (fremskrittspartiet) gets the highest percentage of votes compared to any nationalist party in europe.
