Anonymous hacks the Australian PM - suck it censorship

[n00b1n8R]

The website, http://www.pm.gov.au/, was brought down at about 7.20pm (AEST) along with that of the Australian Communications and Media Authority, but both were back online about an hour later.
A message posted on the Inquisitor website by the hacker, known as Anonymous, stated that the action was in response to a federal government proposal to introduce mandatory internet filtering.

Bitch got fucking served tbh, chalk another one up for the internet hate machine.

Oh, and there's the obligatory anon circle-jerk video here if anybody wants to sit through (WE ARE EVERYWHERE, WE ARE LEGION, WE DO NOT FORGIVE, etc).

As an Aussie I feel that this internet censorship is total horseshit - everything tends to get either censored or banned in this country, no R18+ rating for video games, violent films get banned and most firearms are banned. It's really quite sad. I'm actually planning to move to the states when I'm a bit older.

I wish I could say "we just need to vote him out", but look at the alternative

E: Shit, I'll have to vote if they hold it after July 10, that's scary O_O

If we have an equivalent of the UK's Monster Raving Loony Party out here, vote for them.

As much as I hate the idea, this isn't helping. Now all the ignorant fucks who support this kind of thing or who were at least indifferent are going to think "oh, those evil hackers!" and push it even more. Trust Anon to go and throw a spanner into the works.

But if it's a matter of "lesser of two evils", I'd rather not leave a decision like that to somebody else by throwing my vote in the bin. :/

I thought Australia had some sort of instant-runoff voting system?

i love it.

"Extra! Extra! read all about it! Anon's from 4chan now in court over alleged hacking!"
i could just imagine that as well.

One could wish....

[Bodzilla]

you cant prosecute anon.

you can only get individuals and they'd step up to help a brothers plight.

Unfortunately most people still don't know what the fuck so every time they do step up, it just makes an even bigger mess.
