    When I first moved here the kids were using the ODOT (Oregon Department of Transportation) traffic cams to communicate. They would make a poster and stand in front of the camera for 15 minutes. The camera took a snapshot once every 15 minutes and posted it online. Another group that didn’t have phones used the video game Animal Jam to talk to each other.

      The Australian government’s ban on piracy/“”“copyright infringement”“” was to half ass a filter they hand to ISPs that’s very infrequently updated.

      So when thepiratebay or eztv or whatever moves to a new domain, it’s available for several months. I have friends who don’t use VPNs and get around the “block” by going on Google and searching “nyaa proxy” and one of the redirects on the page would work.

      Oh, and if you swap your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4, you can indefinitely bypass any Australian government censor.
