Quo vadis, Australia?

 I was visiting skyhawke HP fanfic website, when this message popped up:


Now, I have already heard of the "women with small breasts are children" and "female ejaculation is icky" laws, but I didn't realize the law was this widespread.
The fic I was reading, btw, was Harry/Draco/Snape with Harry and Draco both well into their twenties.
Now, I honestly don't know how much of this is true,  or how relevant it is at this point (Late Andi is late) but here's a link to more info and here's the petition. 
Point is, censorship scares me. If you want to build a free program that parents can install on their computers that will prevent the kids from going to bad, bad places, please, do so. But this "Your kink is not my kink so you can't see it" bullshit isn't even tolerated in fandom, so why should it be in real life?

True, there is no universal filtering... But I meant it more in the sense that, if you (general you) want something that will magically protect your child online (even though nothing can really do that, but, some people need someone else to take the responsibility I guess?) Then it should be an individual choice. This ban over the whole country is very 1984.

And you sound like a really cool parent btw :) (not just in this instance.)

Ah, that's my sarcastic name for the law. It's the law that banns small breasts in porn because that can attract pedophiles. Much better explained here (http://www.msnaughty.com/blog/2010/01/27/now-australia-is-banning-small-boobs/).
