The funny thing about this is this link:

hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cyde/Weird_pictures

Now by publishing this link, this site faces up to $10,000/day if they publish this comment.

This is a wikipedia page created by a user named 'cyde'. It is a collection of NSFW and Pornographic images, collected FROM wikipedia. It was created to show the lack of censorship on wikipedia. This lack of censorship is the reason that it is one of the most popular sites on the internet.

These are links to photos.
This comment is a link to a page with links on photos.
By including this link in the blacklist, the ACMA is classifying linked content on wikipedia as prohibited.

This must end now. The australian internet public is too intelligent to let this kind of extreme censorship stand.

Some of the sites listed on the blacklist are harmless sites. what is Krudd doing???
Yes child porn sites should be banned but seriously most of those sites listed are not.
When this list is put to action and i can't access simply non harmful sites that will be the day rudd would have lost my vote.... Will wait and see first.
