| [LettersFromAustralia] People who can't use a spell check or safety test gene-vaccines want to control everything you can see, hear or say online. The biggest threat to your safety is Permanent Canberra's internet power grab. They want to own "truth" then silence what they don't like as "misinformation". You can say no - but not for long. Censorship is power. The one who censors takes power from the one who can’t see. Permanent Canberra is right now building a digital cage “for your safety”. They want to change the law so tech corporations censor you on behalf of the government’s broadcast regulator Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which will set the rules. Ever had a strike on YouTube or a FaceBook suspension? You’ll be safe from ever having a “misinformed” thought again. CORPORATIONS TO CENSOR YOU FOR CANBERRA The proposed legal changes will give ACMA sweeping powers to bring digital platform providers under their censorship framework. They will outsource censorship to the digital platforms so the government can dishonestly pretend that it is not the one ordering the censoring. It’s decentralised censorship. The Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023 will do this by enforcing “digital platform standards” and “industry codes” on “misinformation and disinformation” with fines. ACMA will get to define “truth” and “misinformation” and register industry codes to force Big Tech companies to make sure nothing you write on their platforms contradicts government-approved “truth”. ACMA will give the digital platforms a chance to come up with their own codes. But whenever ACMA feels it’s necessary or convenient, they can determine whatever standard they like, “in order to provide adequate protection for the community from misinformation or disinformation”, for example at (46) c) here. It allows ACMA to register a code that restricts (“burdens”) political communication as long as it’s “reasonable and not excessive, having regard to any circumstances the ACMA considers relevant” (Division 4 - Misinformation Codes (37) d) i), ii). Think political censorship won’t happen? It already did last week when Liberal Democrat John Ruddick gave his maiden speech on being elected to the NSW Upper House. His excellent speech called into question the dangerously rushed gene-vaccines, and it was censored off YouTube. It has since been reinstated (watch below). If this law is passed, you will never again see anything Permanent Canberra doesn’t like on Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, YouTube, Bitchute, Substack or Rumble because ACMA will fine them if they don’t censor you. Some of the fines are 1000, 5000 or 10,000 penalty units. A Commonwealth penalty unit is now $275. That means a 5000 penalty unit fine is $1.375 million. The digital firms will have to collect information on your “misinformation” and turn over extensive reporting of their “misinformation and disinformation” policing to ACMA. |

| #5 The Covid Protocols showed Australia wasn't a colony of prisoners, but prison wardens. Refused and Banned, two different things, and don't let that muddle. |

| #1 Sorry for the double post, it paused and i thought it didn't register Also sorry for repeated post but this is happening right now in Australia - what the US Federal Court in Louisiana just prohibited they did here, and worse they want a new law to make the government able to censor everything !!! please do have a look if only to see the horror that might have happened to you if you didn't have the First Amendment You made the RIGHT decision in 1776 |
