You are completely ignoring the extent of Chinese censorship and the severity of the punishments which is the key difference.
fuck you seem pretty dumb so I'm gonna lay it out for you.
Chinese Internet filter
-compulsory at the backbone level;
-blocking methods: keyword blocking, dns poisoning, ip/url blocking based on a secret blacklist maintained by the government; publishing of said list forbidden by legislation
-punishment for hosting, publishing etc content blocked by the firewall: severe sentence for political dissent; for all other topics, "re-education through labor", or merely "administrative fines" if the individual is well connected.
Proposed filter
-compulsory at the backbone level.
-blocking methods: ip/url blocking based on a secret blacklist maintained by the government, talks of a legislation outlawing the disclosure of the blacklist, additional filtering methods unknown at this point.
-punishment: prosecution and long jail term for child pornography; take-down notice and fines levied by the ACMA against the hosting isp for non-child porn RC content, $10000 fines for possession of non-child porn RC content in W.A and in "prescribed areas" in N.T.
What key difference? the punishment is substantial in both countries depending on the topic in question. I think you need to look up the definitions of "similarity" and "equivalence".
I dismissed the suggestion that they would be censored content is absurd you dimwit.
Did you even read the National Classification Code you fucking moron?
As according to the Code, All films, publications etc are RC when they
(a) depict, express or otherwise deal with matters
of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime,
cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent
phenomena in such a way that they offend
against the standards of morality, decency and
propriety generally accepted by reasonable
adults to the extent that they should not be
classified; or
(b) describe or depict in a way that is likely to
cause offence to a reasonable adult, a person
who is, or appears to be , a child under 18
(whether the person is engaged in sexual
activity or not); or
(c) promote, incite or instruct in matters of crime
or violence
topics like abortion/anti-abortion, homosexuality, and euthanasia are offensive to a lot of people, especially Christians and Catholics. Plus euthanasia is illegal in Australia and therefore a crime so ???
In fact, those are not the only things that are likely to be filtered. Any games rated above MA15+ are RC. Any pornography containing explicit dirty talking and sexual fetishs such as bondage, squirting and even spanking are RC. Even mainstream feature pornographic films such as Pirates are RC since they contain "sexualised violence" ie. pornstars with fake breasts fighting with fake swords on a fucking boat. What makes you think that the Code and the current Guidelines which govern the classification process in Australia will not be applied to content on the internet?
Yeah it is weak, but your feeble attempt at ad hominem, questioning my political empathy, or lack therefore, for an issue that I do not feel as strongly about with the hopes of invalidating my points did not give me much to start with anyway. I can't believe I even entertained that.
Cut the crap, you're just another homosexual-burning freedom-hating religious nut job, why don't you come right out and say god hates fags?
