Over recent times we have seen large scale disconnection from the Internet, country-wide domain name and application blocking, domain name seizures, content filtering and talk of an Internet kill switch. How do we separate the reality and effectiveness of what is possible from media reports and political dreams? In this talk Narelle will review the technical accounts and analysis of recent events and pose some questions on the potential for Australia and the region.
