Australian Blacklist
The government of Australia has determined that they know best when it comes to web sites that the citizens should be allowed to view. So they compiled a list of websites that ISPs must block. A super secret list.
Capsaicin on slashdot said it best:
It is arguable that there are some materials so objectionable that ThePeople(tm) in a democracy could ask their governments to ban or restrict general access to them. But that is not the case here! This was meant to be a secret list, which means we have a (supposedly democratically elected) government acting without public oversight. This is to be tolerated only in the rarest cases when it strictly necessary (such as on some issues of national security). What the Australian government is proposing here is intolerable.
