It is fast coming to a climax. very soon some regislation will be needed.
I saw the recent ABC Press Club video.
I have sympathy for the task that has presented itself to them.
End to End Encryption was the major worry they have.
They know that criminals, paedophiles, Islamist terrorist groups are
using it to hide from police etc.
They do not get co-operation from the Tech companies
that own the systems.
If they managed to get legislation passed the owners say they still
cannot help. I suspect because they do not know the keys.
But even if they did force the crims off end to end the crims could
encrypt off line and send as a file.
I did that many years ago when sending casualty info to police for
WICEN (Wireless Institute of Australia Emergency Network)
We used PGP which when first developed was thought to be ubcrackable.
One guy in the US did crack it, he used 20 computers after work for
I think (memory) six months and won the prize !

Dear Bezza,

Those who want to encrypt their communications can and will always be able to do so, using their own encryption methods if necessary.

Safe for the regime. Yes, I think that’s not just the government's aim, but also that of the opposition who, if they get back sometime in the future, will be no different from the current mob.

The Liberal Party we used to know ceased with the end of the Howard years.

Dear Ttbn,

It has been long since I stopped differentiating between political parties - all politicians and all governments are the same, all members of the same terrorist organisation.

Hi ttbn,
"The Liberal Party we used to know ceased with the end of the Howard years."
Howard sold us out and signed us up to the UN, he laid the foundations for all this.
He was alright in the beginning, but he'd lost touch by the end of it.

You may see him as the last of the 'good ones', but he may in fact be the first of the 'real bad ones' and his decisions are the reason why EVERYTHING went down the toilet from that point forward.

As for all this Elon Musk and the 'e-Karen' digital ID / censorship business...
- Anyone remember when I first came here I said we should build a big prison to some of our leaders in when they screw us.

The only thing I can say is that our government is not trying to censor Twitter or Elon Musk content.
They are not blocking Elon Musk from sharing his home movies.
They are censoring the Australian people from sharing their own content.

Lets say I was at the Sydney church and recorded the events?
Will the government knock on my door and threaten me if I share that footage, which was legally acquired in the course of me going about my day?
Quite possibly, and if that's where we're at then we've gone too far.

This isn't about protecting people from images of violence.
Anyone watched Netflix lately? - it's about 80% violence oriented.
- Movies and TV shows that we all watch everyday.

This isn't actually about censoring twitter.
Twitter is just a platform, it's the users that share the content.
The government seeks to silence Australians, not Twitter.

[Cont.]
And this requirement that Australia has made is NAZI-like and unreasonable.
The Australian government does not have the right to order X to make the content inaccessible globally.
The government can only order X to prevent it's content from being accessible in Australia, they can't make decisions relating to other countries;
This will mean Australians will still be able to access said content with use of a VPN
And the government will continue to go to war with X until Musk bows to the demands of government who expect to have the final say on what content users can and can't share with others or view.
