Australia: “Windows 7 Aids Pedophiles”

The Australian government is accusing Microsoft of protecting child abusers by including powerful encryption in Windows 7.
A member of the Australian government working with “cyber-safety” is outraged that Microsoft is including powerful encryption in Windows 7, better known for its touchscreen support:
“If this new product gives paedophiles protection to keep harming children I would be extremely disappointed. I would expect the company to take moves to rectify this.”
They seem unaware Bitlocker was actually introduced in Windows Vista.
A “cyber-law expert” with the Queensland University of Technology explains how Microsoft is aiding wicked lolicon in vile acts of cyber-sodomy:
“Microsoft has long been criticised for inadequate security – now it has implemented a robust security system that will bring problems along with its good.
There are legitimate reasons for encryption, but there are also criminal reasons.
Ten years ago very few people had access to those encryption devices, now it is becoming extremely mainstream. With so many people using Microsoft, within years most people will have access to this technology.”
He demands laws which would allow the state to lock up evil encryption users who fail to share their keys with the state:
“They need to act quickly and legal powers to force criminals to surrender decryption keys or face a possible jail term.
These laws would help police, law enforcement agencies and anti-terrorist police.”
Australian police themselves can already obtain warrants to secretly install keyloggers, but cannot jail people for refusing to reveal encryption keys – they seek laws emulating those of the UK, where refusal to decrypt information for police is a serious crime.
Under the UK’s draconian Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, police potentially have the power to lock up people who refuse to hand over keys to data they believe to be encrypted, but just how this works when encrypted data is indistinguishable from random noise is something courts have yet to establish.
Americans too find their Constitutional rights subverted when it comes to encryption – in 2009 a judge ordered a man to turn over his encryption keys, ruling after a lengthy series of appeals that this did not constitute self-incrimination, which is protected against by the Fifth Ammendment to the US Constitution.
Thwarted snoopers will doubtless howl all the harder when steganography, where it is all but impossible to demonstrate that encrypted data is even present, becomes more accessible.
Technology also exists which allows a any number of dummy keys to be given to authorities, capable of unlocking fake files in order to thwart such laws, whilst allowing the real encrypted file to go unmolested.
Both of these technologies pose severe problems to such laws, although it seems unlikely this will discourage further attacks on civil liberties by those keen to extend their powers by appealing to child protection hysteria.
However, Microsoft has previously been caught hiding backdoors in its encryption for the benefit of government snoopers, so it appears allowing Microsoft to become the vendor of choice for such technology might actually be their best hope…

Lock makers enable child predators to keep child vicitms sequestered. They should be banned.
/sarcasm
lol Australia complaining about TOO MUCH security, funny. they should just ban the internet, or better yet, ban computers.
u crazy :O, you wanna kill me or something!
Disconnect from the world... End of Australia...
Just like Mad Max.
GG, it been fun
Just nuke Ausralia - same effect for them, better for the rest of the world.
Let the MAD MAX begin !!
Ive said it before and ill say it again "Why the fuck am i living in australia"
Australia is already located too far from the main lands.. lawl
i feel bad for our mates down under, everything continually getting regulated more and more... they used to be free too...
as for the UK... whatever its over for the empire, seems like a situation like "V" is around the corner...
i do have some old gamer friends from Aus, and they pay outrageous fees for little bandwidth (per GB a month or some other crazy terms if they're lucky) and bad ping, its terrible...
Damn aussies, banning encryption? Thats jsut silly. What will they ban next, whale meat?
Oi, I was rounding up koalas when me mate found this incredible thing. Did you lot know Google can help you find anything? I hope the govnah' don't ban it right quick.
They are working on banning the internet. I hate this stupid government.
Same Anon as above. The Australian government not only allowed, but funded a single company to own *all* the telecommunication exchanges *and* sell internet plans. That company, formally part of the government has been privatized now and since before then they have abused their power, but it's now worse. I pay roughly 95 American dollars a month for what is essentially cable speeds that is slowed down to Dial-Up after we download 25 gigabytes. You can actually get 8 gb a month plans with 2mb/s download speed. Oh and did I tell you to the genii over in Telstra, 1 gigabyte = 1000 megabytes, 1 megabyte = 1000 kilobytes, etc.
Sucks for you. I pay the equivalent of 60 US and I get 80GB a month, with cable speeds and reduced to dial-up once it is exceeded. And I am Australian.
Too bad that I get 10 Mb/s and unlimited bandwith.
Australia seems to have all things backwards. If I bought a ferrari to drive and was only allowed to drive it around my house... I'd be pissed.
95US a month for 25gb? Dude, you're being royally screwed. TPG do ADSL2+, 150gb for like 60USD. Change ISPs
Unfortunately, almost all internet plans in australia are like that, extremely expensive for amazingly low speeds or very low bandwidth limits before being dropped to dial up speeds
I live in Hawaii and pay about 38~40$ a month for about 5000kbps download and 1000 kbps upload (essentially 600kB/s dl 100kB/s ul) with no bandwidth limits whatsoever
Phone and 20mbit/s internet without a datalimit for 30 euro's a month (something near $20?).
Gotta love the Netherlands.
LOL I get 10 Mbps with unlimited bandwidh for ~12$ :O And there I thought we have a shitty inets down here...
30 euros is more like $50, these days.
US. 5mbs :(
Sweden. 22mbs :)
Japan. 60mbs :o
Brazil got 35Mbps for $110, 100% unmetered.
We got 100Mbps too, for $278, 100% unmetered of course.
Metered = are for fags.
Oh yeah, and if you don't believe, here you go:
15Mbps:

35Mbps:

100Mbps:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/571776125.png
Here in southern parts of Stockholm area, Sweden i have in reality about 44-47 Mb speed for 249 Krona= 37 USD for one month. I pay for 50Mb connection. No limits for download. It is possible to dl for more than 1500 DVDs in a month. As it is now, i can`t complain.
I live in the depths of the Russia and I got 5Mbps for $25 per month. Moscow has much better options.
Italy: 20mb (max you can get from tiscali) 30€\month
Here's something of an idea for those bitching about their net: STOP USING HELLSTRA (Telstra) AND OPTARDS (Optus)! Don't bother with TransACT, unless you're stuck in Canberra/ACT, and can't get good deals from folks like Westnet.
I pay ~$100 AUD a month for bundled landline and 1.5mbps/256kbps (Theory: 192KB/sec down, 32KB/sec up. Reality: 180KB/sec down, 30KB/sec up.) 65GB/month (25GB Peak/10am to 2am, 40GB Off-Peak/2am to 10am) ADSL1 40-odd clicks outta Wagga from Westnet.
'Course, having the bulk of the plan between 2am and 10am local time makes it easier to MMO or B.Net with folks over in US & UK.
They should just ban themselves...that way they won't get in contact with computers or anything else they can't tolerate.
Hears an idea, move out of Australia. I'd go to New Hampshire or Cleveland.
Camera manufacturers aid child predators by allowing them to record their abuse. They should be banned.
.avi's aid in the distribution of video cp, usage of those should be banned as well
You're onto something, but you're motives are wrong. AVI is an awful container, and should be banned anyways.
It would have been already if so many people weren't too poor to upgrade their machines to dirt-cheap quad cores and $100 graphics cards that are "Crysis-ready".
And what about those who create TV and Computer screens? With out the screens no matter how much encrypted data you have, you can't see them.
Screens should be banned. They help child predators.
If eyeballs were banned then the predators would just walk into walls and knock themselves out, problem solved, ban the human eye
Christianity has countless images of cp all around world portraying small naked children with wings in broad daylight, calling them "angels".
Christianity should be banned.
"There are legitimate reasons for freedom, but there are also criminal reasons."
Let's just lock everyone up to be safe. After all, you never know what anyone might do unless you stick them in a cell. Just as a precaution, you know? For security and all that. Think of the children!
... People these days make me sick.
People in any age make me sick.
they should lock up the smart people since they know how to encrypt in the first place. duh.
*the new reich begins*
Earth provides gravity that keeps childpornographers on ... errr ... Earth.
Blow up Earth!
Children makes it possible for predators to prey on them in the first place, they should be banned.
The human rights aid child predators, they keep getting past 17 years old and become adult predators, life should be capped... or something.
Children aid child predators by... you know... existing.
...and children exist because women become pregnant and give birth to them, so does that mean (unprotected) sex should be banned or made illegal too?
only between people who can reproduce.
:| Don't tempt them...that's a real possibility here in the States:|
^ Uhh, no it's not. lol Paranoid much?
It is part of one of the health care reforms. Government gains total control over who can make babies. They don't like the genetics of one or both parents involved in a pregnancy? They can order (and administer) and abortion. Prenatal testing shows it will be born handicapped, and therefore a burden on the state and its health services? They can order the unborn thing aborted, saving that government health money for productive citizens.
They also have total control over who raises any and all children, and what they are allowed to be taught.
Under that particular draft of the health care reform, any and all women have to maintain a constant "check" with their government beauract monitors--- or they are never allowed to have children (state forced sterilization to INSURE they won't ever breed).
Straight up. Because, you know, the state is responsible for its citizens health care, so the state gets final say over who is allowed to have children, how many, and with who.
And they will be able to stand on that as law, as the US Supreme Court has ruled many times that the constitution does NOT provide for the right to reproduction, and therefore can be regulated in any fashion the government finds necessary.
They need to stop Australians from reproducing, since that would aid in increasing the victims of child abuse in Australia.
How would that INCREASE the victims?
Astaroth~
More children = more potential victims.
well yeah but from my (lack of?) understanding he's saying that stopping us from reproducing will increase it.
I think you should work your English reading skill a little bit more.
failed english is fail
logical anon is logical.
Whoever wrote this should have a kangaroo jump in through the window and punch him in the face.
australians can suck multiple donkey balls.
they should also make houses and privately owned land illegal since they can hide children or their vile cp and news papers inside them.
