HC blocked in Australia?

I think you guys might have heard about the internet censorship thing going on in Australia. The vote was cast and turns out they're going to filter "unsuitable materials" from the internets.

I recently recieved an internet message from one of our Australian Heroes Community members. To protect his identity he will be referred to as Will, the swearing music enthusiast.

His message was the following, some of you may have recieved this as well:

Quote:
G'day mate!

It's Will the swearing music enthusiast here. How are you mr. Keksimate? I just wanted you to know that I'll no longer be able to browse HC. Not because a kangaroo kicked my snowing internetbox thing, but because the bleedin' goverment is all up in my eucalyptus grove! The snowing tossers released an updated blacklist banning Heroes Communit from Australian internets! They said their reasons were "frequent and explicit conversations about the sexual molestation of toddlers, promoting fascistic policies of "out of womb abortion" and "pre-emptive euthanasy" of poor people (A.K.A. "ethnic cleansing") and providing an outlet for Australian racists." Just because I have some ugly aborigine on my avatar doesn't mean I'm racist! I just liked the picture! Someone ought to make those wankers into shark biscuits and throw them in a bushfire.

Cheers mate!

Love, Will, the swearing music enthusiast.



What do you guys have to say about the issue?

is that serious?
did the UDHR say you have the liberty to speak, as long as you agree with what the power says?

also you have the liberty to do what you want as long as it is what the power wants you to do

you have to consider other people like your own brother, especially if they are more rich and powerful than you.

and everybody is equal as a tool to be used by the power.

at least, that's for the 3 french values, liberty, brotherhood and egality

The titans committed seppuku whilst Will went for a smoke with some guy named "Joffa".
