Subject: Websites violating ACMA ban
From: <#######@gmail.com>
To: online@acma.gov.auACMA should be aware that numerous websites are violating the order by ACMA to not publish links to http://www.abortiontv.com/Pics/AbortionPictures6.htm, for which ACMA have threatened Whirlpool with an $11,000/day fine.
ACMA must investigate these sites at once! They are openly defying the ACMA ban!

My, oh my. ACMA are going to be teddibly busy sending out those takedown notices.

Merits mention that I never did receive a takedown notice from ACMA. This is likely due to the fact that mgk is not hosted in Australia. However, it’s likely that ACMA added mgk to their speshy little blacklist.
