This week Senator Steve Conroy, the communications minister, told the ABC's Hungry Beast that he wants Google to apply tighter censoring to the video website, You Tube. The discussion was part of an interview about the government's ISP filtering plans.

Although You Tube already censors out hate speech and pornography, the federal government also wants them to block videos such as instructions for euthanasia and info on drug use. They say Google should be able to filter its content to Australia's wishes, since it already does so for China and Thailand. Google says the idea is unrealistic, and a violation of democracy.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

• What do you think of the government's ISP filtering plans to censor Refused Classification material such as instructions on crims like graffiti, euthanasia instructions, and details on safer drug use?

• The government plans to keep the blacklisted websites a secret, to prevent abuse of the list. Some people believe it should be made public so we can keep the government accountable on what does and doesn't get filtered. What do you think?

* Do you think we should go the way of countries like China, where the government has massive control over what goes on the internet?

• Do you fear the government might filter out political debate?

* Do you agree with Google that such filtering is a violation of democracy and free speech, or do you prefer our nation to be protected from the type of web-content that is already illegal in other forms such as print?
