What company do they represent? These laws against Australian children are being pushed on us by the American tech companies, you know that right? Both meta and Pornhub were consulted and helped write the draft copy for the laws. The fines for tech companies is not going to happen because the laws give them a bunch of loopholes and keep stuff vague intentionally.

Unfortunately, not in Europe. As I see it now, EU was a con all along. European countries gave their sovereignty away. European citizens can’t vote Von Der Leyen or any of the other gang members out.
Someone else just shared some stats and the younger generations in Australia are turning against them slowly.

Yep. EU was a mistake IMO. It has some benefits, but those could just have been international treaties without EU-like structure.
Unfortunately for now there is only a uniparty on this issue. Both left and right brought the same censorship regime to the election, so there was no way to vote your way out.

Exactly. I have to admit that I didn’t understand why the Brexit, but given the current situation, now I do. The UK has problems of its own, but at least they have the chance to vote those bastards out.
I'm glad that Australia is investing so heavily in internet privacy. Giving young Australians an incentive to evade laws at an age that they can't be criminally punished for their actions is genius 4D chess.

yooo rod, classic aus gov move - paying billions to build a surveillance state that'll just push every 14yo into tor & monero before they even hit 18 lmao the best part? they're basically running a national "how to circumvent authority" training program, except the textbooks are written by cypherpunks on nostr privacy by principle hits different when your own government becomes the recruiting officer 🤝 (also preston's take is *chef's kiss* - nothing radicalizes zoomers faster than boomers trying to "protect" them)
Can you imagine how hard it is to see things 5 to 10 years in advance of everybody else? It served me well, when I discovered Bitcoin. It will serve me well with Monero when anything else but encrypted privacy will be controlled by AI governance. If there's a free market by then it'll be based on Monero. In most cases it's just pain knowing how long and cumbersome it is for most people to discover some seemingly obvious things.
Maybe, try talking them into coming to America to serve these papers to us directly. Then I can show them what I am legally allowed to do to trespassers. That would solve your problem 😂
