mask.of.sanity writes "Outraged aussies will hold simultaneous protests across Australia in opposition to the government's plans for mandatory ISP internet content filtering.

The plan will introduce nation-wide filtered internet using blacklists operated by a government agency, away from public scrunity.

Politicians and ISPs will join protesters in the streets to voice their opposition to the government's plan, which has ploughed-ahead, despite intense criticism that the technology will crippled internet speeds and infringe on free speech.

Opponents said the most accurate filter chosen by the government will incorrectly block up to 10,000 Web pages out of 1 million."
