Damn I knew that the Kiwis were awful but not that awful.

It’s not just Kiwis.
There are plenty of countries out there that value feelings over free speech.

What's with the unusually polite response? I was expecting Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks level banter.

Sometimes being polite is the best move. Short and bland and factual gives them less ammo

Yahoo v. LICRA, you dingo fucks.

US District Court already decided in 2001 that US websites do not need to comply with international legal orders.

That case didn't end in the district court and was reversed in the 9th Circuit Appeals Court.

Yahoo! is necessarily arguing that it has a First Amendment right to violate French criminal law and to facilitate the violation of French criminal law by others. [...] the extent — indeed the very existence — of such an extraterritorial right under the First Amendment is uncertain.

Have they taken any action yet or all they all talk?

Dear Australia
I say this with all honesty and sincerity nobody gives a fuck what you have to say about anything. Now kindly Go back to being an irrelevant colony of China

 

[The Bovinian Derivative]

The Bovinian Derivative finds it profoundly autistic that the eSafety Commissioner would refer to himself in the third person when sending his regards.

 

[Tumbo]

Australia being as irrelevant as ever I see

 

[Lieutenant Rasczak]

What do the Aussies even want taken down?
(Edit: Why are the Aussies sticking their nose in what are obviously American affairs)

I agree in principal but in practice the Australian government are absolute fun haters and no amount of politeness is going to stop them from being a censorious, authoritarian nanny state.

Where would they get guns in Australia?

What happened? It’s so far off how I used to see Australia. Is this the Chinese buying everything up and exerting influence or is there something in the culture ?
I’m starting to get that reaction every time I read the word ‘harm’ used online. It’s like a red flag for the thought police. Such a broad definition of harm - it can be anything they want. Like here in the uk, the hate crime laws plus the malicious comms acts ensure that any offence can be prosecuted. It’s terrifying. Why aren’t people more pissed off about all this?

Not sure, I'm thinking criminals wouldn't be deterred as easily with a weapons ban. Almost seems like a criminal doesn't respect laws in a low trust society.

 

[AnOminous]

Maybe, but I doubt it. Doesn't really make a difference though, when it comes to internet censorship the party in charge is for it and the opposition is against it and then they do the hokey pokey and they turn around every time the government changes.

Yeah that shit happens here too. If Trump had been elected in 2020, we'd have Democratic politicians riling up antivax woo woo hippie nutjobs with nonsense like the "Trump vaccine" is formulated to kill black people.
