Anonymous targets Australian government over porn filters

[nsane.forums]

The Australian government found itself victim of a cyberattack on Wednesday morning as a protest against the government's plan to begin filtering certain types of pornography from being accessed online The attack was carried out by the group Anonymous (yes, that Anonymous) as part of "Operation: Titstorm," an effort to push back on Australia for including a plethora of perfectly legal content as part of its Internet filtering initiative. Two government sites were taken down temporarily, and officials have (unsurprisingly) condemned the attacks.

The denial of service attacks began at 8am Australian Time Wednesday morning (5pm Eastern Time Tuesday night) and targeted the Australian government's main website as well as the Parliament site. The plan was DDoS government servers first, and then follow up with "a s***storm" of porn-related e-mails, faxes, and prank cell phone calls to government officials, with a special focus on three types of content that has fallen under the ban: small-breasted porn, cartoon porn, and female ejaculation. (Australia's Classification Board had previously determined female ejaculation to be a form of urination, while small-breasted women simply "appeared" to be underage.)

Okay, so I found this a bit amusing... but in a way I can see both sides.. one trying to protect its right regardless.. and the other trying to keep it clean before it gets out of hand..

Funny though, I'd expect governments to have bigger problems on their hands, but no.

On topic, is it really that bad in Australia? In my country, it seemed kinda worse. 5 sex scandals in a month and even one from my school. There are worse yet to be named though...
