Tie Me Internet Down, Sport

by Tom

So in the service of Australians, or something, the Aussie government decided that folks would just be better off not going certain places on the internet, and made a big ol’ list of sites which are concerned with thought crimes like stem cell research and vacation kennels for animal care (no kidding). You know, Pandora’s box stuff…

Exit International, an organization that provides material on euthanasia to its members, is on that site too and not happy about it. Suspecting that many of its elderly members might be unable to find a workaround, E.I. contacted David Campbell of the Pirate Party of Australia, who taught them enough about web based proxies and VPN tunnels, with emphasis on the former, to make these seniors dangerous.

At least in the eyes of the Australian government.
