Current status: Good article |
I just read this article and it didn't seem to be that accurate or informative. For example, it lists what the proposed censor will block but doesn't refer to statements by government spokespeople where they have said it will "block illegal content" which naturally includes nearly half of the internet if Australian law is to be taken seriously. This has even been tested through requesting websites with merely illegal information, rather then illegal videos or pictures be added to the block list. Given sedition (advocating a change in government) and anonymous political comments are illegal to varying degrees in Australia, huge portions of the internet may end up blocked. Additionally, citing the source that says the Parliament website was only offline for 50 minutes gives an impression of a failed attack, while later in the article, it says there were varying estimates. I personally checked the Parliament website a full day after the attack started and it was still down. I believe they cycled their attacks. I'm not completely sure though. Maybe individual sites were down intermittently over a long period of time?-- Senor Freebie ( talk) 02:05, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
It would be nice to also mention that "Anonymous" managed to successfully fight neo-Nazis online for additional background in to the collective's history. Fredric Rice ( talk) 16:10, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
There is a redirect on Project Freeweb, Operation Titstorm was part of that activity. The Redirection is straying from the purpose of the article. Its not cool to use Wikipedia or any other article to promote groups however much we might agree with them (even though governments and companies do it all the friggin time). However, in this case its directly relevant to Project Freeweb, that is the purpose of the article, The redirect to an arbitarily restrictive subject is censorship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tantaluman ( talk • contribs) 21:48, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

No disamb. links or invalid external links.
The article is much better with the recent additions. Please consider these changes:
As noted above, either improve the fair use rationale for the flyer or remove it from the article. Other that these items, we are done. I have rechecked the disamb links and the external links, and they still check out. Thanks, Racepacket ( talk) 04:14, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
