Government claims it did not censor information itself, but raised matters of inaccurate information that were then referred to social media platforms.
Cautiously keeping its own hands clean of censoring free speech, which in the case of COVID often turned out to be more accurate than the messaging from government departments, Minister Gallagher says the department only alerted social media platforms to what were considered inaccuracies at the time.
The posts in question are being claimed to have been censored by the platforms themselves. This is a foreshadowing of the upcoming Orwellian ACMA bill.
At what point does censorship start? At the communicated advice from government, or at the moment foreign corporations such as Twitter or Facebook hit delete? What do you think?
Was she reading from the briefing document for the proposed censorship bill?
With the government.
Malcolm,
Several weeks ago I had the temerity to question some of your claims as they were at variance from other sources.
These posts appeared and were removed a short time after.
Several cycles of resubmitting my comments followed by removal followed.
This was straight out censorship.
Orwell himself would be proud.
Cheers,
Col
All this censorship along with climate change, high cost of living, influx of immigrants, the voice referendum, has been planned for a very long time it’s a corporate take over to steal the wealth off the people ( slavery) order out of chaos. Government are puppets working for the cabal and while these alphabet corporations exist fascism dictatorships will continue to control societies, they have to be stopped. This was all predicated. “you will own nothing and be happy” we see this clearly yet it still continues. Divide and conquer is their goal and history shows us this. High electricity costs, hyper inflation will make it financially impossible for Australians to live a comfortable and affordable life style which of course is their plan, its all about controlling the people and stealing their wealth. How much money can the government take from the people before it becomes theft???
Laura,
Rather than expressing the above accusations would you please provide evidence for these allegations.
In particular, to quote
“has been planned for a very long time” .
References to sources other than one nation would be more convincing.
Cheers,
Col
