the legislation (see below) passed today. from this day on, I promise to not
call for the abolition of capitalism, talk about rude things, ferment civil
disobedience, mutter about the need for a general strike, show you my family
photos, moan about the government, distribute any material which shows the
results of violence and war, or otherwise scare the children. I will be
good - I might no longer exist.

On April 21st 1999 the Australian government tabled
sweeping Internet censorship legislation. This legislation
threatens the freedom of Australian Internet users and
the future of our economy - but will not achieve its
claimed goal of protecting children.

range of information concerning attempts
around the world to censor what we can say
and see on the Internet, with primary focus
on the Australian situation. http://rene.efa.org.au/liberty/ -- Obscene e-mails could become illegal http://www.abc.net.au/news/1999/05/item19990527060840_1.htm Thu, 27 May 1999
The Federal Government has revealed some private e-mails could be illegal under new Internet censorship laws if they include obscene material.
The new legislation, passed yesterday, empowers the Australian Broadcasting Authority to order the removal or blocking of pornography and other offensive
material on websites, newsgroups and databases. ---
