Photos: Sydneysiders protest internet filtering

By Alex Serpo on 15 December 2008

This is Derrick, one of the protesters against internet filtering.

"I am here because I think this proposal from the government sucks," he said. "It's not right in a democracy, and it's not right technologically."

Derrick said he would still object to a filter that allowed users to opt-out. "I think there would still be risks to it, because you might be able to opt-out today but in five years time they might change the law."

Derrick said he heard about the protest through the website, www.nocensorship.info.

    Do not trust any Government, whether they be Labor or Libera. I am suprised by a labor Government doing this, as I have always thought they were more open minded than the Liberals. Once the Liberals get back in they will abuse it by making it even harder for they public to find the truth of what they are doing

    Labor Governments' proposed internet filtering scheme just will not work, glad people are voicing their concerns, now will the government listen? It's a democracy right?
