Talk:Portions of Wikileaks, Wikipedia blocked in Australia

OR
I e-mailed David to see what if anything he can or will say about this. I also think that the research that lead me to Shankbone (deleted image on commons) is considered OR. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 15:30, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * also e-mailed the ACMA. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 16:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Also e-mailed Jimbo. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 17:40, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I got a response from Jimbo. Those of you subscribed to scoop can see the correspondence. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 18:30, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Image
Do we really need to include the image? Some of the other URLs it shows are probably child pornography and so I don't think it is appropriate to show them unless there is a good reason to. Could it perhaps be cropped to show only the relevant Wikipedia URLs? Adambro (talk) 16:19, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually I agree, but I only did it like that to show the date as well. I suppose I could blackout the other links or blurr them. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 16:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikileaks down
I am surprised it took this long. Wikileaks wil probably be down for a few hours...sometimes they are down for a few days. So I guess this won't get reviewed anytime soon. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 19:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I read the Wikileaks stuff prior to it going down so I can review. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 20:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok because I been told it could be a while before they come back up... DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 21:06, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I reviewed, but for some weird reason Cirt went and published it on his own. His summary said he would clarify here, so let's see what he says. Whatever the reason was, everything passed the review just fine anyway. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 21:13, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No. My publishing was because you passed the review. Cirt (talk) 21:17, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah... I was just surprised to find that when I went over to publish it had already been done. No worries. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 21:19, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

IIRC there are a variety of mirrors for Wikileaks. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:00, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

False information
Material on the ACMA blacklist is not currently blocked in Australia – it is only used for some filtering services which are currently opt-in. The government is trying to make it mandatory, but it isn't yet. Werdna (talk) 03:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * We specify that its only for their software when its installed and working. And yes the WL link is blocked in AU. And yes all the sites on the ACMA's list are blocked, IF they use the software. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 11:11, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Blocked?
I managed to visit Cyde's and ewlyahoocom's pages, and I'm in Australia. (My ISP is TPG). Andjam (talk) 12:26, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It will all depend on whether or not your ISP participates in using the government software. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 16:11, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
