    No anti-virus software? No internet connection[^] http://www.infowars.com/australian-government-to-force-internet-users-to-install-state-approved-software/[^] AUSTRALIANS would be forced to install state-approved anti-virus and firewall software on their computers before being allowed to connect to the internet under a new plan to fight cyber crime. And if their computer did get infected, internet service providers like Telstra and Optus could cut off their connection until the problem was resolved. This is excellent. Anything that will punish C. Graus, stupid sheep.

    That's not even all that bad. My ISP is much sneakier, in their ToS is a clause that says that if you spread spam/virusses/[a couple of other words for bad stuff like that], they can cut off your internet. That's nearly the same, except with the wording that my ISP chose, most people would only find out about it when it's too late and their connection is gone. On the other hand, they could get lucky and not get any malware. This post is not meant to express my personal opinion.

      It's one of 34 recomendations in a report produced by a government committe. It's not a law, it hasn't even been proposed as a law. Do you have any idea how a government works? Can't you see that the way this stuff is presented on infowars is designed to control your reaction? baa baa

              So you don't think its all that bad if the government forces you to install state-approved software on your computers?

                I wouldn't mind visiting Australia, but I wouldn't want to live there. I just wouldn't feel safe, what with their repressive gun laws and all. I could carry CGs weapon of choice, but it's just a matter of time before it is outlawed as well. When pitchforks are outlawed, only outlaws will have pitchforks!

                  I didn't say that. The point is the question is irrelevant becaues at this point it's nothing more than a recomendation in a report. All sorts of weird ideas get put forward, this one has just been presented with all the key words that get you excited.

                    You still beating mom? You used a loaded question to prop your view up You should stop that crap You ignored his entire point it "Suggests this law"

                    If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.

                      He used a strawman on you. He made it sound like your view was "X" and X is pretty stupid and obviously bad. He then attacks X and ignores the fact that you argued Y.

                        I have to say it is fascinating to watch how two people can read the same articles and draw completely different conclusions from them. Everything he's going to read is going to spell government conspiracy and everyone else who reads his links is going to call it bunk or say it doesn't say that, whatever that may be. Wash, rinse, repeat. Since these posts are so predictable, why not post something that isn't so worn out for actual fresh conversation or debate?

                          "Those are two of the recommendations to come from a year-long inquiry into cyber crime by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications."

                          "Among its final 34 recommendations were"

                          In other words, some politician said "Hey, why don't we try this?" Nothing else happened. No one has discussed it yet. No one has voted on it yet. It's not a law, nor is it anywhere close to becoming a law. So get back in your cage.

                          Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

                              It's really naive from you (CSS) and the gov't of Australia to think they can control that... or that they will be able to do it What happens to the persons that don't use Windows? what about linux? mac? what about those other 100 devices that connect to your home network, I can name a few in my house, Zune, Blackberry, Xbox, PS3, Wii, Time Capsule (from Apple) for my backups... what are they going to do about them? force me to buy a firewall that sits between them and the internet? And also, I think that the gov't will have to come up with their own 100% flawless OS, all OS receive at least once a month updates related to security, and I don't think Microsoft, nor Apple nor Linux will want to sell their OS there because they're going to become target of millions of dollars in legal suits, the same with browsers, so how are they expecting to solve all these problems before even proposing it to become a law? How are you going to explain a person that has no knowledge about advanced stuff? that always rely on his son/nephew/niece/son in law/etc etc to install or configure things? how is the gov't going to be able to track all the devices and check if they have what they want? do you think people will let the gov't install an agent to keep track if their software/hardware inventory? what will happen with the 10,000 visitors Australia has every day/week/month/year?? are they going to force them too? Again, posting something that needs way more information and research, stop being so stupid and ask yourself questions if something is feasible or not, stop reading those sites that just blind you, get out of your basement and start getting a life, a girlfriend, friends!!! educate yourself, learn to think for yourself, don't let others do it for you, the day you accomplish all those task you will be a better person and not the obnoxious one you are right now, trust me, everything you post here, we like to debate it because makes us laugh on how you rant and never come up with a good answer and at the end decide just to ignore the debate and start something new with the same results, GET A LIFE, GET A REAL JOB!!!!

                                True, but what are the chances of this one happening? I mean, do the ISPs even have a way of determining if their users are running A/V software? Maybe they can monitor ports to catch Norton phoning home, or Mcafee, but what about the open-source ones? And who's to say which A/V software is "good enough"? And what about the Unix/Linux users? The Mac users? It's just nice idea (Encourage people to protect themselves), taken way too far (Making it a requirement), that fails completely when it comes to feasibility and execution... So I don't see it happening.

                                    True, but what are the chances of this one happening? I mean, do the ISPs even have a way of determining if their users are running A/V software? Maybe they can monitor ports to catch Norton phoning home, or Mcafee, but what about the open-source ones? And who's to say which A/V software is "good enough"? And what about the Unix/Linux users? The Mac users? It's just nice idea (Encourage people to protect themselves), taken way too far (Making it a requirement), that fails completely when it comes to feasibility and execution... So I don't see it happening.

                                    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

                                    They will have to run state-approved software, it will signal the ISP and government. If a virus is detected, the software will inform the ISP and your internet will be shut off until the issue is resolved. Special permits and licenses can be granted to certain users (for a price of course) who run unsupported OS. It really isn't' that hard to fathom Ian.

                                        No, I am not one of the "little people". I'm here educating the "little people" or as I like to call them "puny peons".

                                          I didn't say that. The point is the question is irrelevant becaues at this point it's nothing more than a recomendation in a report. All sorts of weird ideas get put forward, this one has just been presented with all the key words that get you excited.

                                          And when it does happen, you will most certainly whistle and skip down the sidewalk like a little school girl.
