EDITOR'S NOTE

Good Afternoon,

The debate over internet filtering blew wide open this morning with the publishing of a list of URL's purported to be ACMA's blacklist of websites banned in Australia.

The leaked list certainly contains local domains and appears to link to content that would be objectionable under Australian law.

Senator Stephen Conroy categorically denies it is the ACMA blacklist, but points out that the two lists share a lot of URLs in common.

Is the list legit? Let me know what you think.
