God this is so true. I am so ashamed of our so-called representatives.
Please, Apple, do what you know is right and disable all iPhones in Australia. Google, please do the same with Android.
If you have a website, geoblock Australia from it.
Quarantine us from the world. We are sick and will infect you all.
- schappim 8y agoI really hope Apple does this. Half the politicians seem to use iPads for all their computing needs.
- chris_wot 8y agoNo, don't geoblock us. Just refuse to do actual business in Australia. Only allow us to download apps from the U.S. where such broken legislation is not in effect.
- daemin 8y agoDon't think it will help since the agencies can force telcos to mitm the store fronts.
- brokenmachine 8y agoEven this draconian bill I don't think has the power to make telcos mitm sites hosted overseas, does it? But who knows, this bill seems to be the Christmas gift that keeps on giving! Merry Totalitarian Christmas, everyone!!
- daemin 8y agoSetting up a MITM would just be a small request from a low level technical employee. Just make packets from this IP go to this other IP for this one account.
- brokenmachine 8y agoBut if that foreign site is using https then the telco couldn't know which account is logging in.
- Gaelan 8y agoHow do the App Store and play store react to bad HTTPS? Do they allow the user to trust?
- Tor3 8y ago> If you have a website, geoblock Australia from it. Just did.. won't even respond to icmp. My Tokyo and UK sites.
- brokenmachine 8y agoThanks. Actually, if it's possible, you could redirect to a page saying the reason you are blocking, that would be even better. Seriously the world should quarantine us.
- magduf 8y agoThis isn't going to help. It'd be better to refuse to do business with Australia, but be sure to show them just what they're missing out on.
- Chazprime 8y agoI can’t see Apple allowing the Australian government to dictate how they handle security... it’d destroy all confidence in their brand.
- xeromal 8y agoThey didn't let the pain-in-the-ass FBI go through their shit so hopefully they tell Australia to pound sand too.
