Anonymous Warns of “Orwellian” Privacy Bill in Australian
Anonymous plans on protesting against the Australian privacy and security reform
The Anonymous community is warning Internet users of a bill proposed by Australian officials that’s meant to reform privacy and security laws.
“We are all familiar with draconian bills such as SOPA and CISPA which aim to prevent online piracy, but this paper and its recommendations are Orwellian in their scope and power,” the hacktivists wrote on the AnonPR blog.
They explain that the legislation would force ISPs and websites – including search engines and social networks – to monitor online activity and store logs for a period of two years.
They warn internauts that the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) will gain the power to remotely access any computer, even without a court document.

Internet in Australia – The long, slow death of online privacy
Australia – A nation known for many things, most of them good. However soon Australia may be known for more sinister reasons.
Australians would be forced to hand over all online passwords to Banking sites, social networking sites and websites such as eBay to law enforcement if asked to do so, or face jail time. But the true death of online privacy comes with the proposal that everything you do – from social networking, emails, web browsing, chat sessions, Skype sessions and so on would be monitored, stored and made available to government intelligence agencies as and when needed.
