The Australian government was able to remove access to social media for under 16’s to ‘protect them’, so why aren’t they able to remove access to live streamed murder?
This is hopefully a 1 time ‘event’, blocking access to this would have an immediate effect, the issue would be that once this is online, there will be multiple ways in future to view it, and sick f*cks who wish to do so.
A decent government would still oppose this, and would attempt to block access to it.
Hmmm… You know what, I don’t actually know the technical means by which a government blocks something.
Do they have to contact the Internet Asigned Numbers Authority or something? Or is it done via contacting the major ISPs? Or some Australian exit point?
No idea, I was surprised that they were able to get social media to comply with their censoring the young from information bs, since Australia is such a small market.
Every nation should be doing whatever they can to block access to this, and should also be opposing the usa’s choice to be even sicker f*cks than they normally are.
The Social Media ban was apparently funded by Murdoch, because social media sites aggregate news and steal clicks from him, and so he wants to limit their reach.
That plus I imagine we’re a signatory to international courts, so could technically sue Facebook and what not. That plus Murdoch funding = massive change.
…and Murdoch went easy on Labor come election time in exchange. So it was feasible for all involved. Unfortunately.

Serious question? Or trolling?

No they weren’t, they just said they could. Any kid who wants to access it, especially the worst bits, still can

Definitely, no argument here and the government should be clear on it.
This is a fucking disgrace. I’m not surprised though.
Block is not the same as remove.
Remove access is not the same as remove content
Being a pedant is not the same as making a valid point.
