Talking about censorship sometimes requires frank language. Unfortunately such language invokes the wrath of Net Nanny and 'family friendly' search engines.

This site is censored so that those who are censored can at least get to see some, and know that there is more!

About the Melon Farmers?

The Melon Farmers is an anti-censorship campaigning website

It is not a traditional campaign or political organisation. There are no members, no subscriptions and no constitutions. Just a bunch of good people who contribute news, information and opinion.

The objectives and aims of the Melon Farmers are simply an aggregation of the many that contribute. Somehow news, information and opinion can make for a very effective campaign.
