Australians will be unable to opt-out of the government's pending Internet content filtering scheme, and will instead be placed on a watered-down blacklist, experts say.

The government has the right to check about the internet censorship and file cases against the cyber terrorism and attack in the internet world. But I think even they check, we still not secured with it
