National Internet filtering/censorship in Australia

Watch and share the video above of three of the worlds leading IT security experts talking about MANDATORY national internet filtering/censorship in Australia. This is the first test run of nationwide mandatory censorship in a western democracy. It cannot be allowed to succeed or to infect other countries. There is a war being waged once more against the open nature and collaborative power of the internet. The internet is a giant mirror held up to humankind. We should fix the root causes of our issues, rather than sweep the bits under the carpet and cripple the medium.

Interviewees:

  1. Dan Kaminsky, Director
  2. Pete Lindstrom, Director
  3. Marcus Ranum, Chief Security Officer

Be wrong

Following links on the web today, I ended over this presentation given at TED by Sir Ken Robinson (you’re allowed to search on Google, I didn’t know him).
From the page: “he makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it.”
The whole video is here.
My favourite quote:

“[…] but what we do know is, if you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original”.

That made me think. I am, after all, scared to be wrong.
