> As usual, the problem with this is that it assumes a way to perfectly identify somebody on the internet, which in turns mean a way to perfectly identify, in real time, somebody carrying permanently a tracking device with GPS, microphone and camera. It's Australia, who often rank very low for a western country on human rights. https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/asia-and-the-pacific/south-east-asia-and-the-pacific/australia/report-australia/ https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/asia-and-the-pacific/sou...

Introducing Digital ID system that may be enabler for this https://www.oaic.gov.au/digital-id https://www.oaic.gov.au/digital-id While trying to introduce laws to weaken encryption an ex Australia prime minister famously said: > "The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia" Malcolm Turnbull. What's crazy the west look at places such as China as dystopian with the great firewall etc, it appears China was just ahead of the game. Australia is probably the easiest place to introduce a system to block social media, a experimentation ground for five eyes. Easy to push things through, protesting isn't an Australian pass time, not that big of a country, not that small of a country.

Australia has been a petri dish for the testing of totalitarian-authoritarian policies and populist dogma since its inception as a nation. Never forget that the Western worlds first, most successful racist genocide occurred in Australia, and the same racist reasoning that allowed it to maintain White Australia policies into the 80's are still being used to justify the slaughter of innocent human beings all over the world. When the USA wants something dirty done, in yet another illegal war, Australia is ready with hat in hand, willful and subservient, to commit yet more crimes against humanity and get away with it. Australia is where the apparatus designed, with intent, to massively violate the human rights of over a billion human beings currently operates, at insane scales, every second of the day. Australians are fine with it. (Disclaimer: White Stolen Generation Australian.)

    5-eyes and then 9-eyes and then 12-eyes say "whaaaa?" I think the kinetic testing is done all over the middle east. The mind-control stuff is pretty successfully deployed down under, though.

  There is no sane discussion to be had around the "stolen generation" (I don't believe it was white, they were black) due to the mass misinformation that exists, the situation is muddy and complex where the facts simply don't meet reality.

Those who don't want to confront this painful aspect of Australia's terrible history tend to want to muddy the waters, but those of us who actually suffered under the forced human trafficking regime that was official Australian government policy see things a lot more clearly...

Not that I agreed with the person for doing it, but people got arrested for protesting lockdowns on social media over Facebook. I remember seeing a video of a self-proclaimed pregnant woman being handcuffed. I cant imagine why nobody protests in Australia, assuming this is the normal government response.
