@Null The hacks at The Guardian quoted you, but refused to name or link the site... How embarrassing.

someone less cautious would get a big head over this sort of treatment

That makes me wonder what contingencies are in place for this site. Do you name it in your will?

If this happened in Australia I'd vaguely understand, this is just a gross overreach.

It's just ridiculous for a news story to insert a quote without properly attributing it, and violates just about every journalistic style guide. Here's the AP's, for example:

It goes against The Guardian's own style guide too. Scroll down to the section on quotes.

Politicians don't give a shit whether people have the skills to maximize their survival in a situation like this, because people being helpless and terrified is in their interests.

Take no shit from a government that banned the sale of Rimworld on Steam.

Nice one.
The word "linked" is really being stretched there...
Will be interesting to keep an eye on this, to see if the thread suddenly falls off the first page of search results. Maybe it would just apply to Australia, like the EU right to be forgotten stuff?

Well in Harry Potter, the big nosed goblins run the banks, right? So maybe the House of Slytherin has a point.

That's why I love the third world, the government doesn't give a fuck about what you do online.

What a white elephant gift that would be. Hey, you're in charge of the most controversial website in the world now, also you've been banned from using basically any online service because of that. Is it profitable? Fuck no, also you have to do a bunch of research because your new userbase is expecting a person stream on Lowtax and if you don't get that superchat money you'll have to do a run of actual physical merch so you also need to look into a 3PL that isn't going to make your life a living hell. Oh, and you're being sued by 10 different retards who somehow have an endless supply of money to just keep suing you, over and over. And the site is being DDoS'd by a contingent of furry pedophiles who are mad that you won't let them post lolicon so time to drop $36,000/year on DDoS mitigation.

Here’s what I learned from the tranny stuff. If you want to put an insane law through, you don’t start in America or England. You start somewhere small with a small electorate. The tranny law stuff popped up in Malta of all places then Scotland as a testbed for England. You get it through the irrelevant places first, and then, and only then do you start on ‘English speaking world tier II.’ You then use the wedge of ‘well small shitty country is SO MUCH more civilised than us/here’s an international precedent.’ Often you find that your random little country has a surprisingly influential influence in whatever international NGO or body sets the rules.
What the fuck is with shitty obscure countries in Oceania trying to police the speech of other countries' citizens
Australia is a second or third line test for the rest of the west for the imposition of the full surveillance grid. It’s an island with a harsh interior so the bulk of the population is both urban/semi rural and contained and they can’t just drive off. Captive audience, Anglo but not armed. Ideal.
Then you need a wedge to justify your laws. You can’t just say ‘yeah so naughty words get you jailed now’ you need a cause. So you pick the worst possible case which is fine by someone utterly foul and you propose your law against the thing. Ideally you want someone so loathsome that any criticism of the law can be deflected with ‘you agree with the loathsome person.’ Then you get your law through and suddenly it applies to everyone.
You can do this in any scale from the ridiculous and small (dankula, I mean not that the man is loathsome but noone is going to die on that hill) through mid sized (the shootings that disarmed the UK and aus) to the massive (9/11 and the patriot act or covid and public health laws.)
And that’s how you do it. Just a long slow creep of social change then a crisis that is used to the full. And that’s why some small irrelevant country like Malta has Things To Say about gender markers and why Australia is going full retard.
Oh and x% (where x is a large number) of the population LOVE it. Their only skill is compliance. The last few years have been a total head fuck for me becasue I realised I was wrong about history. I assumed that almost everyone under totalitarian regimes hated it, but now I see that well over half will cheer it on as their neighbours are dragged to a ditch in the forest and shot in. Talk about a black pill.

lol I misread that as "someone less cautious would get a bag over their head over this sort of treatment", hence me thinking about the death of dear feeder

i wonder if the person who wrote this is the son of the CEO or something. maybe all those attempts at understaffing to get more money caught up with the company, then they had to mass hire a bunch of idiots to fill the gap?
