AMCA Blacklist Leaked

Well it seems to have been an eventful day for the Labour Governments planned compulsory internet filter for Australians. The AMCA blacklist was said to have been leaked onto the net by Wikileaks and the news of the so called leak seems to got people wild everywhere. This SMH article reports Stephen Conroy popping out the cupbord with this rant:

 

The Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, said the leak and publication of the ACMA blacklist would be “grossly irresponsible” and undermine efforts to improve cyber safety.

He said ACMA was investigating the matter and considering a range of possible actions including referral to the Australian Federal Police. Australians involved in making the content available would be at “serious risk of criminal prosecution”.

 

But now later in the day it seems Mr Conroys office is telling the world it wasn’t their blacklist after all, as the published list has way too many URL’s, and they are super responsible and they would never just leave the list laying around to be leaked.

 

But then again Mr Conroy and his “Ministry of truth”, have been found acting in an underhanded manner before so how much of their story is truth could be anyones guess.
