It seems to me that Albanese and his hysterical censors (now including the Liberal Party) are more concerned about videos of acts than they are concerned about the acts themselves.

Perhaps they could use the time and effort they are putting into outrage finding ways to prevent the actual acts rather than trying to hide from us the horrors of what is going on, and what we should be alerted to.

Here's what one Yank thinks about Australian censorship:

Hi Foxy

8 year olds are playing Roblox.
Parents purchase cards that give online game credits 'Robux', that are used to play certain games and buy premium content, like items for your character / avatar.
They learn pretty quickly about trusting people they don't know and being scammed, because other kids (even adults posing as kids) will try to scam them out of their premium content items.

A little bit older and they're playing fortnite.
I've been told that fortnite makes some kids go crazy, angry, hostile.
The kids become so addicted to the games they'll become angry and hostile if you try to limit their screen time.

What they're not doing is getting outside and riding on their bikes and playing with their mates and getting up to regular mischief...

The kids that are getting outside... are just as likely to be hanging out with mates, stealing (just to get smokes to begin with), vaping, having sex at 13 or 14, sharing nude pictures of themselves on snapchat, (I bet snapchat has quite an extensive database of kiddy porn, from the kids sharing it with each other) getting into other drugs, crack pipes, running the streets with knives and machetes....
- then it's robbing people, bashing people and stealing cars.

And it's no surprise some parents feel its safer to keep their kids inside, over-sheltered.
Random people including kids being stabbed at the local shops and that...

If you hear the words 'misinformation' and 'disinformation';
- the context is to sell you censorship.
Right now the US government funds Ukraine; and Ukraine uses those US funds to put US citizens who oppose the war; people considered 'information terrorists' on Ukrainian hitlists marked for death.

Don't tell me about some caring moral government authority that is there to protect people.
We have labor governments that are so soft on youth crime, you could almost say that they themselves are directly responsible for the crimes themselves, and we're not talking about online harm, we're talking about street violence.

Old ladies robbed, bashed or stabbed in their homes or in the street.

and will eventually lose both liberty and the safety they crave.

Yuyutsu,

eSafety will not be threatening your freedom to communicate.

As the Commissioner explains their purpose is:

"to help safeguard Australians from online harms and to
promote safer, more positive online experiences.

What they do is explained in the following link:

http://esafety.gov.au/about-us/what-we-do

'to help safeguard Australians from online harms'

* safe guard

You can't 'safeguard' anyone from harm.
You can however 'attempt' to do so.
- And become a totalitarian, authoritarian, NAZI, Nanny, Surveillance / Police State in the process.

'Safeguard' is an unrealistic aim.

'Minimise online harm' is a more realistic aim, but it has no context.

'Minimise online harm whilst recognising and maintaining peoples right to speak freely' puts it into a context that recognises there must be a kind of balance.

Not simply 'safeguard'.
- That's a mandate without any limits or context.
- It assumes that people must adhere to simply unrealistic ideals.
That makes them slaves and their governments authoritarian.

All this from some foreign woman who isn't even Australian.
It's a travesty.

Hi AC,

Actually, she is married to Nick Grant who is Australian.
They have 3 children, and she IS an Australian Citizen.

Still, Haven't we had/have - "foreigners" as our Heads-Of-State?

It's not been a travesty - but a tradition
