We are safe to shitpost for another day AusGoats.
(files.catbox.moe)https://files.catbox.moe/4f1mod.pngImagine a future where every word you say online, every article you read, and every post you share could be judged and censored by the government. This isn’t just a fear—it’s a reality the Australian government is trying to create through the Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation Bill. This bill, if passed, would give government bureaucrats the power to decide what’s “true” and force Big Tech to silence anyone who doesn’t fall in line.
‘Deeply flawed’: Truth bill on the brink in Senate showdown According to Saturday’s Sydney Morning Herald:
“... independent senators including David Pocock, Jacqui Lambie, Tammy Tyrrell, Fatima Payman and Gerard Rennick are holding out against the plan, putting it on course for defeat even if Labor gains support from the Greens.
Senators said they were receiving hundreds of emails and calls from voters who opposed the draft law because they believed the Australian Communications and Media Authority should not have the power to check the controls on social media content.”
This bill hands sweeping powers to a federal agency, allowing them to control what we say online. It risks turning free speech into a government-controlled echo chamber.
This isn’t just about one bill—it’s about whether Australians remain free to speak their minds.
