BOOT Blackout Jan 25-29

The Australia government is in the middle of pushing an outrageous piece of legislation to drive all internet traffic through a filter. If passed we will join Iran and China on the list of countries that filters the internet. It is sham act as the filter will not work. I am blacking out the BOOT for 5 days as part of a protest. Normal service to resume next week.

I fully support you in this. Shame on the Australian govt for proposing to restrict free speech and expression online.
