Wieviel die Regierung vom Netz versteht, zeigt sich schon darin, dass sie Fernseh & Rundfunk-kontrollbehörde mit der Überwachung betraut. >Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 15:14:19 +1000 >Subject: [EFA] EFA: Draconian Net Censorship Proposals Attacked > >Electronic Frontiers Australia Inc. > > Media Release March 19th 1999 v >DRACONIAN NET CENSORSHIP PROPOSALS ATTACKED > >Anti-censorship group Electronic Frontiers Australia today attacked the latest government plans to censor the Internet as ignorant and draconian. > >"The latest proposal by the government sets the debate on Internet >censorship back three years", said EFA chair Kim Heitman. "The government is ignoring the expert advice of Internet industry associations and user groups, computer professionals, and even government departments." > >The government proposals will make material that is legal offline illegal on the Internet. > >"There needs to be open public discussion of detailed proposals, not >rushed implementation of legislation." > >"Only a few percent of Net content is located in Australia", Mr Heitman explained. "Almost all the material being targetted by the government is legal in the United States. So the material our government is trying to ban or restrict access to will remain available from overseas." > >"Suggestions that ISPs should 'block access to such material hosted overseas' are totally impractical. They were rejected in a recent CSIRO report commissioned by Alston's office itself." > >Attempts elsewhere to control external content with 'black lists' and >forced use of proxies are acknowledged failures. China, Singapore, >and some Islamic states are among the few countries that still persist with them. Even Malaysia announced this week that it was abandoning Net censorship attempts. > >"'X-rated' is a film and video classification that does not translate >easily to Internet content", Mr Heitman commented. "Australian content providers will be at a competitive disadvantage since they will either >have to pay high fees to have their material classified or remain in uncertainty about their legal status." > >"Finally", concluded Mr Heitman, "access by users to information online is private communication. It is not just 'unreasonable' for ISPs to interfere with the content involved - it is a totally unacceptable >invasion of users' personal privacy." > -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1999-03-19 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
