They have to fix that. <br>___________________________________________________<br><a href="http://www.expedia.com.au/Hong-Kong-Hotels.d178263.Travel-Guide-Hotels" rel=follow rel="nofollow">Hong Kong Hotels</a> Well, the Australian government hasn't given up on censorship and they probably get a lot of porno spam:)) Their initiative is quite logic and it has legal background, but I did hear of banning some websites that weren't in the porn category.

There are scheduled protests on February 20th in the major cities of Austraila, since that is our obvious focus. In the US and the UK we are looking for individuals or groups of individuals who are experienced in the plannings of such events in our major cities. Stop by the Encyclepedia Dramatica page on Operation Freeweb for much more information on these matters. The US and UK governments are already speaking of similar censorship. If the Australian government goes through with this than all of the rest of us are next. Now is the time to speak up for your internet freedom! Now is the time to act! Get involved, now is the time to make a difference. Depending on where you are located, many things are taking place right now.

The government is only going to use 4chan and Anonymous as evidence that government control of the Internet is needed to protect the general population, imho.

It's a group of people who are using their own computers to do a denial of service attack. Nobody is breaking into anyone else's computers (as far as anonymous has stated).
