IT News released a twitter today about 125 Australian websites who are voluntarily blocking out people in protest to the new ISP filter policy the Australian Government imposed on the Australian public. This and other anti-filter campaigners were part of a movement called The Great Australian Internet Blackout http://www.internetblackout.com.au/websites/.
The tweet read:

The article details this and some other active protests which attempt to send a message to the Government that it shouldn't impose such extreme measures. Its a great idea that if given the right support could realy pack a puch.
I had an alternative brilliant idea! Lets start our own internet! Who's with me?
