The Futility of Web Censorship

Rabbits prove the firewall news project: Moses, A (2009, 02, 26). The online review plan is about to be over. Brisbane Times, search March 2, 2009, http: from //www.brisbanetimes.com.au/news/technology/web-censorship-plan-heads-towards-a-dead-end/2009/02/26 / 1235237821636 .html A. issue a statement in December 2007, the Australian government has announced plans to start a wide range of Australia's filter for illegal and "questionable" content on the Internet (ABC, 2007). These plans, as well as the possibility of exploitation by unfair censorship and government, since there is a possibility that undermine the relatively slow economy of Australia, has received criticism and strongly opposed to (Moses, 2009).

This is amazing as the Internet was made to give people unrestricted access to information and communication without worrying about censorship and surveillance. World is Wide Web founder Tim Berners-Lee is, the Internet has had imagined and even "all over the place, to share the information at the boundary of all cultures, an open platform that allows you to collaborate with the opportunity." It was. But after 28 years Berners-Lee's free and open Internet vision has been replaced by government firewalls, Internet service provider monitoring and corporate data gathering.

Overseas, we discussed the efforts to review Internet contents. In the early history of the Internet, people believed that "information wants freedom" - Internet users will find ways to evade the censorship system. Berners-Lee admits this idea is "a bit too much". "Because the Internet can not solve the review problem, there is no magical way, so we have to protest against the review." China tends to list restrictions on Internet content and there are participants from China. It is a special force to be able to show the opposition party's alternative plan to people, I hope that all countries can find it. "
