Aussie Bill Wants to Ban More Websites
30th Sep 2007
A bill has been tabled by the Australian Federal Government to increase the police’s power to ban websites they deem to be crime or terrorism-related.
"Cyber-crime in on the increase globally, with criminals abusing the anonymity of the online world to carry out offences ranging from unwanted sexual approaches to online fraud," reads the bill.
The bill proposes to amend the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, to expand the black-list of URLs currently maintained by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to include crime- and terrorism-related websites hosted both domestically and overseas.
