The internet to be censored in the US.
By Sam PascuaThe US is following suit with countries such as China, Korea and Australia with the introduction of laws to censor the web and the voice of freedom. The Americans just as Australians are allowing their government to take away their civil liberties and their right to freedom of speech and the ability to gather news stories from non traditional media.
As stated previously on Di blogs, the time is now to fight for our rights to a free and open web. Australians need to get behind the freedom movement and support organisations such as the EFA.

The EFA need to be supported, they are being attacked by Senator Stephen Conroy who is using standard scare tactics to beat down the growing voices of opposition to his plan to censor the Australian web and limit Australian right to freedom of speech.

Such action is a blatant and unacceptable attempt to control the content that we Australians are able to view online legally.
