(#rwnngea) @stutteringsteve here here 👏 My wife and I are also taking this stance in our local area, we (Australia) haven't introduced this level of insanity yet, but it's coming! 🤦‍♂️ We're not the only ones either, we have very close friends and other family that feel the same, these morally and ethically questionable types are overstepping their bounds. #Freedom #HumanRights #Privacy

📣 **PSA:** Threat to your privacy and the right to criticise your Government.  I received the following message from our (Australian MP) Julian Simmonds yesterday via Email (because apparently politicians don't know how to use Social Media 🤦‍♂️ or how to write Blog posts 🤣): message from Julian Simmonds MP > I have been fighting for tougher rules on big tech and new laws that back Australians online. As a result of my advocacy, our government is putting in place online protections that hold social media companies to account and put the power back in the hands of parents. > > Under these new powers, social media companies will be declared as publishers, meaning they are liable for any defamatory remarks, unless they actively assist to identify anonymous trolls and resolve disputes. > > For parents who have often felt helpless, this means an avenue to unmask the troll targeting and bullying their kids online. > > This sends a strong message to those who make toxic comments and slurs online; that they cannot hide! They are no longer anonymous behind the keyboard and will face the consequences of their actions, just as they would in the real world thanks to our new legislation. #Privacy #SocialMedia #Criticism #Government #Rights #HumanRights #2022 #Australia ---- What are your thoughts? 🤔
