In this week’s show we worship at the the altar of Mark Pesce … and have a chat about the Government’s proposed mandatory ISP filtering. We talk about the technical and social aspects of implementing a law like this, what effect it could have on Australian tech innovation as well as the way that Twitter has been used to organise and unite people in a campaign against the Government. We trust you’ll find the discussion as interesting as we did - this show rocks!

Links mentioned in the show:

Deadlog - an expat Australian living in China talks about the practicalities of living under and implementing internet censorship.

We talk about the TOR Project, which can be used to browse the internet anonymously and how it could be easily used to get around any filter. You can read about it here and download here.

Also, we raise a couple of points from Mark’s earlier interview on the ABC.

We have a couple of really interesting guests lined up for the next few weeks, so stay RSSed.

In the meantime - go forth and PROTEST.

PS. Be so kind as to leave us some comments!
