Australia Says No to Internet Censorship

Brenton Fletcher writes "A nationwide protest rally against the internet censorship filter proposed by the Australian Labor Government was held today. Over 9,000 people were slated to attend. I was fortunate enough to go to the rally on the steps of Parliament House in Adelaide, South Australia. I heard speeches from the Digital Liberty Coalition, the Green Left Weekly, and other concerned members of the public." Reader mask.of.sanity adds a link to ComputerWorld's photo-heavy coverage of the gatherings.

Yep, I am a /b/tard, but the speaker at the protest really did say 9,000 people.

An upside-down triangle? What does that even mean? I didn't know triangles had a "right " way up. A triangle is simply a triangle, whatever its orientation.
