Arc Tangent

I have a post brew­ing recap­ping my impres­sions of OSDC (where I spent last week) and what I got up to down in Mel­bourne, but in the mean­time: Syd­ney Morn­ing Her­ald arti­cle on the appar­ent death of the Clean Feed plan.

Via the Syd­ney Morn­ing Herald:

“Sup­port for the Government’s plan to cen­sor the inter­net has hit rock bot­tom, with even some children’s wel­fare groups now say­ing that that the manda­tory fil­ters, aimed squarely at pro­tect­ing kids, are inef­fec­tive and a waste of money.”

When the peo­ple whose job it is to think of the chil­dren are telling you that your plan to save the chil­dren is wrong and stu­pid, it’s seri­ously time to give it up.
