So I heard about this ridiculous news the other day that now Australian customs officers have been given new powers to search incoming travelers' laptops and mobile phones for pornography, according to The Age.
Really?
Come on.
Really?
First the Internet filtering, a la porn wall, and now this?
And I thought America was bad.
Wow. We're all really screwed, I think, when we let politicians regulate the Internet, regardless of the reason.
Especially in self-proclaimed "democratic nations".
Vote these people out of office, as soon as possible.
They are a threat to you, your future, the future of the Internet, and the future progress of technological innovation.
Because they are not in control.
