Mandatory filter pros and cons
I am removing the unsourced list of discouraged pros and cons. It only ever reached the stage of a proposal for a trial and was widely dismissed by industry. I don't believe its likely to return as a political issue. There have been no sources added in more than three years. I would support that content being re-added as prose with sources if it is integrated into the rest of the text and relevance has been demonstrated. - Shiftchange (talk) 15:04, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Internet censorship?
The 2 September 2020 arrest is certainly a noteworthy event, but does it actually belong on this page? It's not really Internet censorship like the other topics in this section. Where would be a better page for it to go? peterl (talk) 05:44, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Additional information on Christchurch blocks
As an Aussie I can confirm that Telstra also blocked Archive.today. That site, along with 4chan and presumably Voat as mentioned in the article, were blocked until a "routine" revision in September IIRC. Some sites remained blocked after that, I think. Unfortunately, I don't have a source right now. Wiimeiser (talk) 09:13, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
