A
legal monitor informs us on Tuesday, July 27,
1999:"Just learned from talking to Aussie
pal that Net Censorship Board (in Victoria) has ordered
all access to Australian Federal Court system's
website blocked, because judges' opinions in
controversial cases may give platform for odious views of
defendants before the court (example: citing passages in
books up for banning.) "Web censor's opinion itself makes own
website subject to blocking." |
