Australia's Vast, Scattershot Censorship Blacklist Revealed

The blacklists were reportedly leaked by a Web filter operator to wikileaks which has published the full list of banned URLs.

The leak follows a series of attacks on the watchdog in which irate users successfully lobbied for web sites to be banned, only to be threatened with an $11,000 fine for publishing the link contained in the PR response. It was also revealed the watchdog can ban Web sites at a whim, with no accountability."
