KMFDM FAN AND POLITICAL BLOGGER FIGHTS CENSORSHIP
German industrial/metal act KMFDM have praised fan Aaron F. for fighting political censorship in his homeland of Australia.
FROM KMFDM: Recently Michael Atkinson, the Attorney General of South Australia, had been pushing new laws censoring political blogs and comments on the internet during election periods unless the sites collect and publish the poster's personal data. He went so far as to claim particular posts that disagreed with his agenda were not made by real people but were fabricated by his opposition. He stated plainly that a particular poster did not exist. Luckily the person he singled out was an outspoken politically aware KMFDM fan named Aaron F.
Aaron made himself known to the media and even ended up meeting with the Attorney General presenting his case against these internet censorship laws which have now ended up being retracted. Thank you Aaron for standing up for freedom and the truth. Fans like you make us proud. Check out Aaron giving an interview to ABC while wearing his KMFDM Symbols shirt.
For futher reading - info on the gag order, Aaron F. exists, Aaron F. meeting the Attorney General and finally the law is repealed.
Thanks, KMFDM!
