Aussie state bans YouTube

The big idea is to stop cyber-bullies and follows public wringing of hans after a group of schoolboys filmed themselves sexually abusing and degrading a mentally disabled teenage girl.

The video of the group bullying her to perform sex acts, urinating on her and setting her hair alight was put on YouTube by the boys.

The education minister in southern Victoria state, where the attack took place, Jacinta Allan said the state's 1,600 public schools would block access to YouTube. She said that the government had a zero tolerance of bullying and this approach extended to the online world.

So now Aussie bullies will have to go on in their traditional, and largely undetected manner.
