Reality 1, Deluded Jerktards 0
Anyone want to know where to find some primo kiddie porn? Ask everyone’s favourite uber-pedophile Stephen Conroy and his buddies at ACMA. Their secret stash has been made not-so-secret anymore by the fine freedom-loving folk at WikiLeaks. Says Senator Shitheel:
“No one interested in cyber safety would condone the leaking of this list.”
I don’t know about that. From earlier in the article:
“The list itself should concern every Australian - although plenty of the material is unsavoury or even illegal, the presence of sites like YouTube, MySpace, gambling or even Christian sites on the list raises a lot of questions,” [Colin Jacobs, EFA] said.
Cue bleating insistence from Conroy that by the time the list affects all of Australia it will be pruned to only the kiddie porn they insist the list is for, and won’t also block sites that are objectionable to the moralist assholes who have sway with the stuffed shirts who run the country.
I suppose I’m not interested in “cyber safety” though. Partly because anyone using the word “cyber” should not be trusted. Mostly however it’s because I don’t think the Internet should be made kid-safe at the sake of adult freedom. If parents don’t want their kids to see “bad” content, parents can supervise their children.
This program is not about “cyber safety” however. It can’t be, because it does not limit access to the objectionable content. It is about the Labor Party buying the votes of lazy, paranoid parents who are convinced that the world is out to corrupt their sweet, innocent little lambs of god. And if the last election went the other way, it would be about the Liberal Party doing the same. They’re all a bunch of morally corrupt whores.
Except for Nick Xenophon. Turns out the only person I voted for at the last election might not actually have shit for brains. For now.
