- immibis 2y agoAustralia will be the first Western country to block Tor, but I can't predict when.
- jgord 2y agowell thats perfectly logical IF you want to prevent under-16s from using social media.
- user_7832 2y agoIf Australia becomes the first Western country to block it… it would be quite an achievement haha
- immibis 2y agoThe capital W is there for a reason.
- ruthmarx 2y agoFirst with a social credit score most likely.
- immibis 2y agoThe USA beat them to that, but they don't use the word "social"
- anomaly_ 2y agoWait until you read about the efforts by the current left-wing government to block social media for children. Which is basically an attempt to deanonymise the internet.
- dvsfish 2y agoIt's actually an attempt to block social media for children. There's no ulterior motives. It will have the consequence of deanonymisation but it's not an attempt to achieve that.
- hedvig23 2y agoCare to expand on the good faith premise and methodology proposed?
- tacocataco 2y ago> . It will have the consequence of deanonymisation but it's not an attempt to achieve that. How about regulating all social media to be healthy for all ages to use? The social media corporations should lose freedom, not the citizens. (IMO)
- dvsfish 2y agoI don't think Australia has the power to do that. The world is full of unhealthy things that we prohibit from children. It's a popular idea, with most people in favour of a ban for kids.
- IntelMiner 2y agoLabor is a lot of things. Left-wing sadly isn't one of them anymore
- melbourne_mat 2y agoThat only matters to people who use social media. It's not like you need an id card to use the Internet
- averageRoyalty 2y agoYou likely don't know very much about North Korea then.
- Aeolun 2y agoNot necessarily. It'd be much harder to replace "North Korea" with "Australia" when you look at news that's actually from North Korea.
- fakedang 2y agoHere's the issue with North Korea - they don't use technology :D. Maybe replacing Australia with their new paymasters in China makes more sense?
- dietr1ch 2y ago> ..they (NK) don't use technology :D. idk, there's RedStar OS, but no Kangaroo OS (tbf few countries have their own distro)
