Scientology proposal to outlaw online anonymity

What worries me is that as it is worded, it will probably gain rather a lot of support from the Catholic Church and a number of prominent Senators and Representatives, including Senator Conroy.

And that kinda scares me.

I'm thinking "illegal" satellite connections paid for via offshore accounts you maintain in another country.

Won't help your pings for Quake Sid Meiers' Kickin' Nazi Ass, but general web surfing should be free and clear, which is the issue at stake here.

Duh. Did you think that there was even the remotest possibility that they had a decent motive?

Considering Scientology, none at all.

True, but given the current governments track record with the internet, I'm not that worried.

I hear they have formed a quango to find out where it is located

Hearing it from the Minister for Communications, yes. While it's unlikely it will go anywhere - the government doesn't have the numbers to get a bill through the Senate on this - it's not exactly reassuring either.

But its proponents are not hounded out of public life by popular outrage? I thought we had it bad here.

I attended a Clean Feed protest last year. There were about fifteen of us.
