I agree. Unfortunately the people who benefit from the current power structure have the most power in order to maintain it. I don’t see these people accepting juries or caps on their assets.
There are also often violent repercussions to protesting, and coups tend to just destabilise a region and set up the next dictatorship.
Humans just can’t seem to stop being dicks
Ah that’s a shame. I guess it could still be used as an adblocker. Time to go research VPNs
If their filter catches anything ‘inappropriate’
Google docs getting censored as well for some reason
I’ve just seen a comment about the UK floating vpn bans and am considering the possibility in Australia so I’m probably commenting in the wrong thread.

I’m not au fait with this but can you use a raspberry pi for a makeshift vpn or something?
Seems like a thing the tech savvy people do
Auspol are probably gonna see this and try to ban VPNs here too… Time to try and learn about this technomology then. Even if just for basic online safety
Has Australia just completely decided to go for broke
I don’t want to give id so there go all my playlists
Edit: Also I can’t like or follow to support channels
It’s destroying everyone but the ones who benefit.
It seems like it’s taken such a long time for news outlets to become outwardly critical but even then it isn’t likely there’ll be any change because there’s a vested interest.

Yep… the social media age verification was the thin end of the wedge.
The answer to kids accessing age inappropriate content is education and parental supervision, not censoring the internet and infringing on all the adults. But then the government couldn’t push laws to increase surveillance and receive popular support.
I really wish I’d had the time and energy to degoogle and had never started using cloud storage. I’m going to have to back up all of my photos in case I lose access when I refuse to hand over my ID. (Which I should have already done.)
I also really should have switched to Duck Duck Go ages before this
Not a good thing in Australia :/
It’s a shame that sun umbrellas and sun visors aren’t more normalised here like in Asia
Agreed. It’s the people with dickish traits that seem to be able to crawl to the top and subjugate the rest of us, is what I meant
