My school runs a laptop program wherein they give us laptops that we pay for over the year. recently they have begun to block websites such as Myspace and Facebook when i am at home. Is it legal for them to interfere with my browsing at home? Does this constitute an invasion of privacy? I have a feeling that it isn't illegal :( but if it is could someone please provide evidence of some sort. (remember: Australian law)

If this is the Rudd program of laptops - yes they can. You do not actually own the laptops (and are not paying for them - not sure where you got that idea). The government gave them to students for school work only. To ensure that all students had the same accessibility to technology. It was not given to you to place games, post of social network sites etc. It was given to you to help in writing your assignments. There is nothing stopping your parents buying you a computer - then there is no filtering. The moment you accept something "FREE" from the school you are controlled by the conditions of that gift (your parents would have signed acceptance of these conditions on your behalf).
