Political
Censorship
Stephen Conroy, is the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy in Australia,
but he may as well be the Minister for Fascism, Censorship and the Eradication of Free Thinking!
Minister Stephen Conroy is a fine example of absolute idiots who are voted in and then the start to push their own agendas. These are the very people who we need to stop voting for!
Once he was assigned to the broadband, communications and the digital economy portfolio Stephen Conroy tried to censor the internet. He initially promoted it as a way to block child pornography, then this censorship policy was extended to include legal material traditionally refused classification by the Office of Film and Literature Classification, including sites depicting drug use, crime, sex, cruelty, violence or "revolting and abhorrent phenomena" that "offend against the standards of morality"
Thankfully most people saw through his governments blatant attempt to help censor the internet especially when it comes to morality as we must always ask the question
JUST WHO DECIDES WHAT IS MORALLY ACCEPTABLE?
Thanks go to the many voices who object to this governments attempts to censor internet, it's called the last bastion of free speech for a reason!
Not content with having his ass kicked by the worldwide internet community he is now trying to censor the media in Australia (a supposedly free country?) Yes you heard me right he is pissed off with what he calls media bias! His complaints have centred on media criticism of him and the government. He has gone so far as to accuse 'The Australian' newspaper of "creating stories that are completely untrue". The media is 100% correct, we live in a free country and they are free to give their opinions it is par for the course if you live in a free country, it means free speech.
I mean is he for real, people read newspapers and watch the news to be informed and the majority of people can make up their own minds and they are free to do that, if a newspaper shows a particular bias and slant towards a political party, most people can see through that bullshit and if they don't then why should we be punished for someone's lack of understanding.
This is the biggest problem, once you cater for the lowest common denominator you punish the majority by taking away their ability to think freely. Seriously, if I don't like what I am watching on TV, I change the channel, if I don't like what's in the newspaper I don't buy it. If I don't like the book I am reading I close it, if I don't like a website I am on, I close the tab, yes I have that ability and the most shocking thing is that so does everyone else, that's right we all possess that ability, so government's fuck off and stop thinking that I need you to tell me what I can and can't watch, read, see or do.
I AM FREE. I WAS BORN FREE and I AM FREE TO THINK!
Remember governments are elected by us, for us.
They are accountable to us. They represent us, it
is not their place to tell us what to do, we tell THEM!
