Senator Conroy, take note. At a speech overnight, US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton said the following.
“Some countries have erected electronic barriers that prevent their people from accessing portions of the world’s networks. They have expunged words, names and phrases from search engine results. They have violated the privacy of citizens who engage in nonviolent political speech. These actions contravene the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which tells us that all people have the right ‘to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”
Most people, including Ms Clinton, probably have China in mind when they read this. Pity Australia is in the same boat.
