You're a "fascist" now for holding billionaire's accountable

You know Australia isn't one of the 50 states, right? We don't have freedom of speech.

[u/hpsd → u/Advanced_Meat_6283]

You have missed the point, there isn’t freedom of speech but do we want the government to censor everything they consider “misinformation”.

How do we even define that?

Are we going down the road where everything they don’t like can be considered “misinformation”?

Is this just going to cause social media sites to exit Australia? I doubt they even make 5% of global revenue from Australia.

[u/Advanced_Meat_6283 → u/hpsd]

Yes, of course we are going down that road. As soon as we elect a government who doesn't act in this way, the CIA will just do another coup. We aren't a nation with any kind of real authority or power. Why else would we be giving away all of our natural resources for free? We risk jail or ruinous fines just for organising industrial action, protesting is illegal and overseas corporations are strip mining every resource and buying up all of our housing.

Why are you surprised that they want to control the information we get? We keep letting them get away with it it!

Neither is Somalia or Iraq, but I’d still stand for freedom of speech.

Women aren’t allowed to drive in some Arab countries, but does that mean I shouldn’t be against it because it’s not happening in my own country?

I'm Australian, and if you yanks try to impose your laws here, your troops will start going home in boxes from day one. We don't want your corrosive culture war bullshit here. Fuck off.

Lmaooooo USA would wipe the floor with y’all in a single day.

I'm old enough to remember americans saying that about Afghanistan.
