Dave cuts lose on the idiots behind Australia's proposed Mandatory Internet Filter, and calls everyone to arms to stop this madness before it's too late.
(My regular viewers may want to skip this, it's not electronics related, it's an Australian specific social commentary rant)

If you think this rant is too long, there is an abridged version here:

    EEVblog conservatives value discovery of truth through freedom of speech and debates. progressive leftists are afraid of facts that aren't politically correct which is why they often loose debates and sweep everything under the carpet. Censorship is a leftists only move and it's invention.

    I wish I could give this more than just one thumbs up.

    I hate the retarded "it's to protect the children" argument, such a weak and perthetic argument to justify bullshit laws and policy's.

    After a few glasses of absinthe I like to engage in an activity I like to call whale watching, its where I lay flat on my back naked of course and try to give myself a no handed erection…the flopping around of my penis is much like that of a whale majestically rising from the ocean. Praise Jesus.

    So did this filter go through in the end or was it canceled?

    @waswestkan I thought Family First was just a local Australian thing. You mean they ARE everywhere? Yikes, be afraid, be very afraid…

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars waswestkan says:

    While it's not surprising, I didn't know that Family First has a presence in Australian politics. Only if FF really had an interest in helping families, with the real crap families have to deal with day in & day out. But again too many families are drinking the Koolaid FF & others R serving up.

    The internet filter is for government control. Every time the government says 'its for the children' its a load of bullshit. That's just to suck in sheeple to make them think its a good idea. This filter will skrew up the internet and remove the freedom of information. The blacklist will allow for any website to be banned they don't like, any information that may disagree with their power mongering to be banned. They will also track and log EVERYTHING you do online.

    @fungulotualatuarazza I don't like your condoning of the existing censorship or our will to do anything about future censorship. Your comment puts you on the side of the will to suppress.
