The Australian government is set to intensify its war against Internet freedom by forcing web users to install state-approved anti-virus software. If they fail to do so, they will be denied an Internet connection, or if their computer is later infected, the user’s connection will be terminated.
澳洲政府準備強化它對互聯網自由的戰爭，透過迫使網絡用戶安裝國家批準的防毒軟件。如果他們未能這樣做，他們將被拒絕連接互聯網，或如果他們的電腦之後被傳染，用戶的連接將被終止。
“AUSTRALIANS would be forced to install anti-virus and firewall software on their computers before being allowed to connect to the internet under a new plan to fight cyber crime. And if their computer did get infected, internet service providers like Telstra and Optus could cut off their connection until the problem was resolved,” reports News.com.au.
“澳洲人將被迫在電腦上安裝防病毒軟件和防火牆軟件，在被允許連接到互聯網之前，在一新計劃以打擊電腦犯罪。如果他們的電腦確被感染，互聯網服務提供商如Telstra和Optus可以切斷他們的連接，直到問題得到解決，“ News.com.au報導.
A 260-page report released by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications outlines a plan to mandate Internet users to install government-approved software before their Internet connection can be activated.
眾議院常設委員會通信科公佈的一份 260頁報告，概述一計劃強制互聯網用戶安裝政府批准的軟件，在他們的互聯網連接能被激活之前。
Of course, the vast majority of Internet users already use anti-virus software, but by creating the precedent of having to conform to government mandates simply to get online, this opens the door to later requiring government permission to use the Internet at all, as well as a Chinese-style ID verification system which will prevent “undesirables” from using the web.
當然，大多數的互聯網用戶已經使用防病毒軟件，但通過創造要符合政府旨令只為上網的 先例，這打開在之後要求政府允許使用互聯網的大門，以及作為一個中國式的身份確認制度，它將防止“不良分子”使用網絡。
It also makes it easier for the government to use the law to subsequently demand that a mandatory Internet filter also be installed as part of the software package that blocks websites deemed “offensive” to the authorities.
它也更容易給政府利用法律去作接著的要求，即一強制性的互聯網過濾器亦會被安裝，作為軟件包的一部分以封鎖對有關當局被視為“侵犯性”的網站。
Efforts to place restrictions on the internet are unfolding apace in Australia where the government is implementing a mandatory and wide-ranging Internet filter modeled on that of the Communist Chinese government.
Australian communication minister Stephen Conroy said the government would be the final arbiter on what sites would be blacklisted under “refused classification.”
The official justification for the filter is to block child pornography, however, as the watchdog group Electronic Frontiers Australia has pointed out, the law will also allow the government to block any website it desires while the pornographers can relatively easily skirt around the filters.
Earlier this year, the Wikileaks website published a leaked secret list of sites slated to be blocked by Australia’s state-sponsored parental filter.
The list revealed that blacklisted sites included “online poker sites, YouTube links, regular gay and straight porn sites, Wikipedia entries, euthanasia sites, websites of fringe religions such as satanic sites, fetish sites, Christian sites, the website of a tour operator and even a Queensland dentist.”
The filter will even block web-based games deemed unsuitable for anyone over the age of fifteen, according to the Australian government.
Senator Joe Lieberman on Sunday called for the United States to move towards a a Chinese-style system of Internet control. Under Lieberman’s 197-page Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act (PDF), President Obama would be given a ‘kill switch’ to shut down parts of the Internet.
Constant fearmongering about cyber attacks is the cover for a global assault on Internet freedom by authorities. The web is being overtaken by independent media outlets which are now beginning to eclipse establishment news organs. This has enabled activists and the politically oppressed to expose government atrocities and cover-ups at lightning pace, something the system is keen to curtail
