This is where I find the Greens not effective.
Banning it from being livestreamed is impossible and will do nothing.
The government should be condemning the US government for still having the death penalty, and use this as an opportunity to make the arguments to why the death penalty is stupid.
And further why it’s so important for us to not be wholly in bed with the US on everything.
ISIS does it = terrorism.
US Gov does it = justice.
ISIS
US Gov
They’re both the same.
The world super power and global hegemon for secular western democracy is the same as a theocratic insurgency terror org? Wow I had no idea.
Since the inception, USA has always been imperialist and since the end of World War II, has been involved in more global conflicts than any other countries. USA merely operates on “lesser evil” framework. And up until recently, USA has been secular, but democratic? Hardly to begin with. Just ask black Americans, Native Americans, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Iraqis and Latin Americans. The US ignored the UN resolutions many times, especially on not invading Iraq under false pretense of hiding weapons of mass destruction. So, USA has always been a terrorist state but in different name and face. I would go so far as to say that Trump took off the facade of the country as the shining beacon on the hill. After all, American people had been demanding for authenticity.
That’s not the reason ISIS are labelled as terrorists.
Terrorists kill innocent people to spread terror. The US would never kill innocents except for all the innocents they kill.
Backward shithole.
Everyone should know the terror of the usa.
This is what they’ve always been, whether it’s a charismatic or bumbling killer on their throne.
The world should unite against their barbarism.
How myopic. I didn’t realise America’s sole focus since it’s inception has been terror and barbarism. I guess PEPFAR, USAID, the civil rights act, the Marshall Plan, fighting smallpox and polio, and international disaster relief were just cosmic whoopsies that materialised from the ether.
Uncivilized barbarians.
Just for reference, here’s an alphabetical list of countries which broadcast executions:
- Afghanistan
- Iran
- Iraq
- North Korea
- Saudi Arabia
- United States
These do public executions yes but even they don’t broadcast it live.
Only Mexican cartels and ISIS broadcast snuff flims, and now the US is on that list too.Iraq and Saudi Arabia don’t do public executions these days, and none of them besides the US live stream them. Apparently they’re the first country to ever do it.
The real problem is the reasons some of these countries condemn people to death, regardless of the barbarism they engage in while carrying it out.
The US’s actions are only notable because they are held to a higher standard, rightly so.
Hopefully Canada will not broadcast it.
Everyone needs to ban this barbarism.
Eh? Why would we have it ‘live streamed’ anyway?
Besides that; All of our FTA tv channels will blur anything remotely confronting as a matter of course.
You tube is where you’ll get your jollies. And the Australian government can’t/won’t censor that…
So it can be monetised and sponsored.
This execution is brought to you Winchester Ammunition. When accuracy matters, trust Winchester.
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?
able to remove access
No they weren’t, they just said they could. Any kid who wants to access it, especially the worst bits, still can
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.
Definitely, no argument here and the government should be clear on it.
This is a fucking disgrace. I’m not surprised though.
Serious question? Or trolling?
Serious question? Or trolling?
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.
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.
“Livestreaming US execution would breach prohibition of torture, UN rights office warns” https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/10/1168565
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.
They were able to geoblock the 2024 attempted stabbing of the orthodox protest, but I don’t think they were able to get it taken down. Pretty sure that the Christchurch massacre was taken down though
Both were after the fact though. Which I am sure they will have the court orders ready to go. But the livestream is another story.
Either way. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Play it live on every channel, every screen in the country. Put it on repeat. Show it on street corners and in pubs. Show it in primary schools and high schools. Everyone should see what we’re endorsing by being a US client state. Let those who want to revel in their inhumanity go over every sick detail with glee.
So we shouldn’t be a US client state? What should we be?
not siding with evil would be cool
America is evil, got it 👍
What should we do about it?
Yep. Show the homeless. Show the millions in penal servitude. Show the working poor. Show the communities racked by drugs and violence. Show the school massacres. Show the executions. Show the lynchings. Show the Epstein files. Even most Americans don’t know the truth of their country.
It’s funny to me you’re listing things we’re already aware of thanks to the US being a transparent western democracy. Things that are the subject of heated discussion within the country as well.
the usa is a warmongering duopoly, not a democracy.
It’s obviously a democracy, so idk why you would deny that. Idk what a “warmongering duopoly” is.
There are already 82837463829 execution videos available online. If it’s even going to be broadcast, and with no protection or authentication (doubt), just don’t watch it. And don’t give us that bullshit “protect the kids” answer. How effective was the social media ban? 7% of kids actually blocked going by the last report?
