“The Australian Government has announced that they will be joining China as one of the few countries globally that broadly censor the internet.”
Apparently this was originally proposed as an opt-in policy meant to protect children from questionable material, but at the last minute they decided to implement it for everyone. You can opt-out, but you may end up on a list somewhere.
I’m all for protecting children, but I strongly disagree with policies being applied with such broad strokes.
