			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was stunned and baffled today to read that not only is Australia implementing a national porn filter, but that there is <a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081016-net-filters-required-for-all-australians-no-opt-out.html">no way to completely opt-out of the system</a>.</p>
<p>Even if you switch off the &#8220;inappropriate for children&#8221; part, there remains in place an &#8220;inappropriate for anyone in Australia&#8221; part, the rules for which will presumably remain secret and under the control of someone who &#8220;knows better&#8221;.</p>
<p>Score -5 Kevin Rudd for clamping down on the open use of the nation&#8217;s critical information infrastructure. The greatest single benefit of the Internet is that it allows the completely free and uncensored flow of information. Sure it&#8217;s both a blessing and a curse, but the possibility of governments controlling what we&#8217;re allowed to read frightens me much more than the occasional person getting scammed.</p>
