I think that from the point of view of global digital society, if this thing fails spectacularly and publicly, it could be money well spent - if it deters other nations from pouring their taxpayers money down this particular drain.

Can anyone think of a way to make it fail loudly, rather than quietly?



I don't like this method, but it might work. Maybe someone can help change it to something that doesn't do harm.

1) Setup a site that the government would want to block.

2) Make sure it gets blocked.

3) Have the site track whenever an aussie logs onto it.

4) Send out an email with statistics on a regular basis to someone.

You may want more than one site or find a way to use existing sites, etc...

You need to make sure your okay with posting whatever material would qualify though. That might be tough.


A problem with this idea is that the easiest ways to get around filters (secure tunnels) would generally result in the connection appearing to come from outside of the country.
