Censorship in Australia
The Australian Government plans to censor the internet includes a focus on online bullying under the act S474.17 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 and the safety of children from issues such as child pornography. However this does appear as a guise to censor what we access across the board. They have introduced what they call e-Safety to enact this surveillance to “protect” us all. However it also gives them the opportunity to access anything we access therefore privacy does not exist.

I definitely think there is a place for censorship, and something needs to be done in regards to online bullying but I think it would be hard for the government to control it.

As much as the government would love to interfere with our privacy even more, I can’t see censorship working in a democracy. A lot of the issues online are social issues that can be worked on with further education & awareness.
