Petition Stop Internet Censorship
More details
Recently the high court has ruled to block certain websites. they have subsequently forced 3 major internet providers to put expensive measures in place.
This is not about specifics of what the site contains, to which there is still great debate as to the need of the ban.
this is simply censorship of the internet. There are 2 countrys i know that have heavy internet censorship china and north korea. both under heavy dictatorship.
This is a breach of basic human rights of free speech along with restricting foreign communication.
This should not be allow to be made a prescident where large media companys can simply block sites because they do not like how they are run.
This is like suspecting your neighbour of stealing your lawnmower so you put a ten foot fence around his house instead of dealing with the issue with him.
Please can the goverment step in, over rule these judgings and help settle this matter in a fair and sensible fashion.
