‘The filter is back’: Blocked site tells its story

Delimiter reports that the Australian internet filter may have been implemented in a roundabout way after all - ‘The filter is back’: Blocked site tells its story and ASIC blocked “numerous” sites over 9 months.

If you’ve been following the saga over the decision by Australia’s financial regulator ASIC to unlilaterally order the block of suspected fraud sites over the past week or so, you’re probably aware by now that the whole deal started when a little-known site named Melbourne Free University was mysteriously taken offline back in April. In a lengthy piece on the ABC’s The Drum website this afternoon, the convenors of the site tell their story and argue that the situation is just not good enough.
