ISP Filtering is happening in Australia, don't let it happen her. A friend pointed me in the direction of a little piece of code behind the official site for the Senator the Hon. Stephen Conroy, Australian Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate. This is a screenshot of his website today (click for a larger version): Notice on the right hand sidebar a "tag cloud" with the most discussed topics on that site.
Now let's look behind the scenes on the code used to create that "tag cloud": Oh, look... Now you understand why I think we shouldn't have a national Internet filter in New Zealand. (By the way, I hope using the website as an example don't put me on a "persona non grata" list in Australia...)

China Widens Net Censorship; Google Exile Looms | Threat Level | The Chinese government is imposing new internet restrictions demanding personal-website operators to acquire central-government permission to operate their sites. The latest censorship measure, which covers .cn domestic domains, comes as Google is trying to convince Chinese censors to ease up. Google said 43 days ago it would undertake a self-imposed exile from China if the government does not back off from requiring it to censor search results.
The government said the latest move — which also requires site owners to submit a photograph and to show identification — was targeted at tackling pornography. Critics, though said it was based on silencing political dissent. China did not say when the rules would be enforced. The plan underscores that China is not likely to blink in its confrontation with Google, at least not anytime soon. Google declined Wednesday to directly address negotiations surrounding its China announcement. Illustration: TheG See Also: Can Someone Please Tell This Italian Judge What YouTube Is?
Sometimes I despair of Europe, even though I’m proud of what can be achieved here. But really, guys, can we get it together? At the same time the European Union is investigating a pretty flimsy anti-trust complaint against Google, it’s conspiciously ignoring a case in Italy where three Google executives have been found guilty on a ridiculous charge. Here is the bizarre story. An Italian court yesterday convicted two current and one former Google exec in a trial over a video showing a teenager being bullied.
The Google Italy employees were accused of breaking Italian law by allowing the video of bullying of a teenager with autism to be posted on YouTube Google Video in late 2006. Despite the fact that Google removed the video within hours of being notified of its existence, Judge Oscar Magi (pictured) absolved the three of defamation but convicted them of privacy violations. The three executives have received a suspended six-month sentence, while a fourth defendant was acquitted. Hello? Internet & Democracy Blog » Internet censorship arrives in Italy. Digital economy bill rushed through wash-up in late night sessio.
The government forced through the controversial digital economy bill with the aid of the Conservative party last night, attaining a crucial third reading – which means it will get royal assent and become law – after just two hours of debate in the Commons. However it was forced to drop clause 43 of the bill, a proposal on orphan works which had been opposed by photographers. They welcomed the news: "The UK government wanted to introduce a law to allow anyone to use your photographs commercially, or in ways you might not like, without asking you first. They have failed," said the site set up to oppose the proposals. But despite opposition from the Liberal Democrats and a number of Labour MPs who spoke up against measures contained in the bill and put down a number of proposed amendments, the government easily won two votes to determine the content of the bill and its passage through the committee stage without making any changes it had not already agreed.
ID cards scheme to be scrapped within 100 days | Politics | guar. The timetable for dismantling the national identity card scheme was spelled out today by the home secretary, Theresa May. Photograph: Suzanne Plunkett/Reuters The £4.5bn national identity card scheme is to be scrapped within 100 days, the home secretary, Theresa May , announced today. The 15,000 identity cards already issued are to be cancelled without any refund of the £30 fee to holders within a month of the legislation reaching the statute book. Abolishing the cards and associated register will be the first piece of legislation introduced to parliament by the new government. May said the identity documents bill will invalidate all existing cards. The role of the identity commissioner, created in an effort to prevent data blunders and leaks, will be abolished.
The government said the move will save £86m over four years and avoid £800m in costs over the next 10 years that would have been raised by increased charges. The next generation of "biometric" passports is also due to be cancelled. HADOPI pour les nuls : explications et contournements - AgoraVox. Vendredi 3 avril 2009, l’assemblée nationale a adopté la loi "Création et Internet", avec seulement 16 députés dans l’hémicycle.
Pourtant ce texte risque, s’il est appliqué, d’apporter de profondes modifications au web français tel que nous le connaissons. Cette loi instaure entre autres la "riposte graduée", qui en cas de téléchargement illégal, après l’envoi de 2 avertissements, prévoit la coupure de la connexion internet de l’abonné contrevenant. La plupart des arguments qui s’opposent à cette loi étant assez techniques, je vais tenter d’expliquer certains éléments de fonctionnement du net qui sont utiles pour les comprendres, puis j’aborderai point par point les éléments de la loi qui selon moi sont problématiques. J’essaierai également sur chaque point de montrer en quoi cette loi et d’ores et déjà inutile en montrant les différents contournements existants.
Tout d’abord pour qu’il y ait sanction, il faut qu’il y ait constatation d’une infraction. Contournement : Contournement : Une première évaluation des effets de la loi Hadopi sur les prat.

Partager sur Viadeo Impertinences, Internet, Les Potins, Logiciels, Loisirs, Ordinateurs, Réseaux Par : La Rédaction - Jeudi 15 avril 2010 à 9:32 Roberto Maroni, ministre de l’Intérieur italien de son état, a osé déclarer qu’il était un adepte du peer-to-peer.
Il a massacré la loi française « Hadopi ». Nos confrères toujours bien informés de PCInpact notent que le monsieur qui s’est exprimé dans différents médias sur le sujet, considère que s’adonner au téléchargement sur les réseaux P2P n’est pas assimilable à du piratage. Pour étayer ses propos, le ministre sait de quoi il parle puisqu’il est lui même musicien dans le groupe soul Distretto 51. Le gus estime que l’échange hors marché sur internet est une simple manifestation de l’échange entre amis et ne correspondrait en rien à un vol à l’étalage comme veulent le faire croire les majors et autres associations qui les défendent. Anonymat des blogueurs : quand le sénateur cachait son identité. Jean-Louis Masson, sénateur non-inscrit de Moselle, est devenu en quelques jours une véritable célébrité sur le web, s'attirant les foudres de la "toile".
La raison ? Le sénateur a déposé le 3 mai dernier une proposition de loi visant à mettre fin à la possibilité pour les blogueurs non professionnels de rester anonymes. Le sénateur s'inquiète, notamment, de la multiplication des "propos inexacts, mensongers ou diffamations qui sont, hélas, de plus en plus souvent colportés", selon lui, sur Internet. Le web s'est depuis mobilisé contre la mesure, et plusieurs acteurs de l'Internet français ont publié, mercredi 26 mai, un appel accompagné d'une pétition contre la proposition. Plus encore, le passé sulfureux du désormais "fameux" sénateur de Moselle refait surface.

Reporters Without Borders marks the World Summit on the Information Society by presenting 15 countries that are “enemies of the Internet” and pointing to a dozen others whose attitude to it is worrying. The 15 “enemies” are the countries that crack down hardest on the Internet, censoring independent news sites and opposition publications, monitoring the Web to stifle dissident voices, and harassing, intimidating and sometimes imprisoning Internet users and bloggers who deviate from the regime’s official line.
The “countries to watch” do not have much in common with the "enemies of the Internet. " The plight of a Chinese Internet user, who risks prison by mentioning human rights in an online forum, does not compare with the situation of a user in France or the United States. Yet many countries that have so far respected online freedom seem these days to want to control the Internet more. The 15 enemies of the Internet (in alphabetical order) Countries to watch (in alphabetical order) How Internet Censorship Works" One of the early nicknames for the Internet was the "information superhighway" because it was supposed to provide the average person with fast access to a practically limitless amount of data.
For many users, that's exactly what accessing the Internet is like. For others, it's as if the information superhighway has some major roadblocks in the form of Internet censorship. The motivations for censorship range from well-intentioned desires to protect children from unsuitable content to authoritarian attempts to control a nation's access to information. No matter what the censors' reasons are, the end result is the same: They block access to the Web pages they identify as undesirable. Internet censorship isn't just a parental or governmental tool. There are several software products on the consumer market that can limit or block access to specific Web sites. Most people know these programs as Web filters. We'll start off by looking at Internet censorship on the domestic level. Internet censorship. Internet censorship is the control or suppression of what can be accessed, published, or viewed on the Internet.
It may be carried out by governments or by private organizations at the behest of government, regulators, or on their own initiative. Individuals and organizations may engage in self-censorship for moral, religious, or business reasons, to conform to societal norms, due to intimidation, or out of fear of legal or other consequences.[1] The extent of Internet censorship varies on a country-to-country basis. While most democratic countries have moderate Internet censorship, other countries go as far as to limit the access of information such as news and suppress discussion among citizens.[1] Internet censorship also occurs in response to or in anticipation of events such as elections, protests, and riots.
An example is the increased censorship due to the events of the Arab Spring. Other areas of censorship includes copyrights, defamation, harassment, and obscene material.
