Evidence is mounting that the list of websites published by Wikileaks is almost certainly ACMA’s “secret” blacklist, writes Stilgherrian.

Razer: Conroy should not be surprised at blacklist leak
The emergence of the ACMA blacklist should have been as shocking to Stephen Conroy as, say, another tabloid sashay from Lindsay Lohan, writes Helen Razer.
Yet another ACMA internet blacklist springs a leak
The war of the leaking internet blacklists escalates, with Wikileaks publishing more recent blacklists and threatening Senator Stephen Conroy with legal action, writes Stilgherrian.
Fake Stephen Conroy: we’re in trouble
We can’t allow these Mountain Dew-sucking deviants to keep running circles around us, writes Fake Stephen Conroy.
Blacklist leak: ACMA not cut out to play cyber-cop
The leaking of ACMA’s blacklist perfectly demonstrated the faulty logic behind the Government’s net filtering proposal, writes Bernard Keane.
ACMA issues threats, meets the Streisand Effect
Now ACMA is going after pages that merely link to blacklisted material, writes Stilgherrian.
Conroy: Unchecked, 100 megabit Internet will ruin us
Unchecked, the rampant advance of broadband technology in Australia could lead to a devastating decline in the availability of morally-sound content online, writes Fake Stephen Conroy.
So Conroy’s Rabbit-Proof Firewall is dead… or is it?
While the Greens will presumably hold fast, it’s conceivable that Coalition senators could cross the floor, and Senator Xenophon’s position on almost any issue can be rather, um, flexible, writes Stilgherrian.
Outclassed Conroy hides in his bedroom
The audience is now smarter than you are because they have more time and there’s more of them. Government ministers no longer own the conversation, writes Stilgherrian.
The filtering wars: EFA vs Hamilton
EFA is concerned, as should anyone be, that the government is taking a new censorship power for itself that is opaque and not subject to review, writes Colin Jacobs.
Conroy announces filter-trial ISPs and clams shut
Finally, progress (of sorts) on the Rudd government’s Internet “filtering” trials, which were meant to have started before Christmas, writes Stilgherrian.
So Conroy’s Internet filter won’t block political speech, eh?
Conroy’s protecting us from ped-philes, stopping terrorists, that sort of thing. It’s like the regulation we have for TV, films and books. Except it’s not. It’s not even close, writes Stilgherrian.
Conroy attacks BitTorrent: Ruins Australia online
With Australia’s broadband development already well behind the pace, we can’t afford to cripple an efficient distribution mechanism, writes Stilgherrian.
The lies of the internet censors: Your. Filter. Won’t. Work.
It’s time to call the purveyors of pervasive internet censorship out on their lies and demand to know why they’re not advocating the real solutions to child s-xual abuse, writes Stilgherrian.
Kruddiversary: The internet thanks you for 12 months of achieving nothing
One year on, precisely none of the NBN has been built. The Cyber-Safety Plan is trialling (again) unworkable internet filters while Senator Conroy accuses everyone of being a pervert, writes Stilgherrian.
Hamilton: Net p-rn goes way beyond naughty
Net libertarians greet any suggested degradation with howls of protest because they refuse to acknowledge the extent of the social problem the Government is trying to address, writes Clive Hamilton.
Conroy thoroughly tangled in his own Rabbit-Proof Firewall
Conroy needs to decide what Australians should and shouldn’t see on the internet, express that in a coherent policy, and then ask the technologists and educators how to achieve that aim, writes Stilgherrian.
The slippery slope towards internet censorship continues
The Australian Government continued down the slippery slope towards internet censorship yesterday by introducing bill to give the Australian Federal Police the power to nominate terrorism or crime related websites for filtering.
