LifeNews reports that the Australian Communications and Media Authority, (that country's Internet censorship agency), is in the process of fining a forum based website in that country up to $11,000 dollars per day  for linking to an American site that publishes pictures of babies that died as the result of abortion.

So how does something like this happen?  It happens when government agencies, set up with good intentions, grow and get away from their original mission.

The net nanny agency was created to help reduce the amount of child pornography online, but it has gone beyond that to prohibit Australians from accessing any sites it deems objectionable.

This is one of those cases where, as Ronald Reagan said, "governement regulation is like fire; it makes a good servant but a poor master".  And here you've got an initial good intention that has begun to run wild.  Which leads you to wonder what type of people ended up running such an agency after it was created with those good intentions.  

It's hard enough to protect children from exploitation online without the added burden of protecting citizens from what amounts to free-speech.  It would seem that they would do better to focus their time and their resources on the problem that prompted the agency's existence.
