How to respond to Australian censors
What happens when a small American online forum receives demands from Australia's eSafety Commission?
In this interview, a lawyer representing online platforms shares how he challenged the regulator's attempt to enforce Australian online safety rules on a US-based forum — and why he wasn't backing down.
He also reveals how a previous legal battle with the UK's online regulator, Ofcom, shaped his response.
Can Australia's online safety laws reach beyond its borders? And where should the line be drawn between regulation and internet freedom?

These are the people trying to regulate the world's Internet, getting into an argument with an LLM and losing
Even worse, getting into an argument with Gemini and losing
Labour MP in public spat with his AI, let's hope these two can work things out

ALT Screenshot of a tweet on X/Twitter. Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett says: "This morning Gemini AI sought to mislead me repeatedly when I tried to verify research I had done. Eventually it admitted its actions and apologised. Here is screen shot" Trickett has added a screenshot showing an apologetic on-screen message evidently from Gemini AI. The message seems sincere, but probably isn't because as an AI tool Gemini isn't sapient and does not experience regret or shame.

Hi, so like, I have very weak leg muscles (As in I cannot stand for more than five minutes otherwise I run the risk of falling). According to the government, that's somehow okay for me to work????

Here is a list of websites and apps that the UK is set on banning for under 16’s. You’ll notice some truly confusing additions such as Soundcloud and Spotify? Listening to music is apparently ILLEGAL for anyone under 16.

I should have stated this earlier but we have no affiliation, nor do we support TidmouthThunderbolt/Frogz, obviously we have to wear that name on our sleeves due to us rewriting his work, but we plan to persevere past that. We never planned for DX to try and redeem fallout,

Even if you're naive enough to trust the current government I want you to think about this technology in the hands of a government you'd hate. Because they'll have it too.
🚨UK Lawmakers Demand Spyware on Every UK Phone
Conservative peer John Nash and Labour MP Jess Phillips are leading a cross-party push to force scanning software onto every phone and tablet in Britain—including those already owned, via mandatory updates.
The tools would inspect every photo, video and livestream for child sexual abuse material, including AI-generated images, then block or blur matches.
Officials insist this protects children and can be done without privacy damage because nothing leaves the device. Detecting the illegal content still requires examining everything else first.
Even if it catches some abusers, it still plants a permanent state examiner inside the private camera roll on the phone you own.

The default position in democratic Europe is now to blame every bad thing on the Internet and insist that government regulation of speech is the answer. This will not end well.
Polish PM Donald Tusk:
It is time for the internet, the virtual space, to be treated with the utmost seriousness.
What happens in the virtual world influences people's minds and actions just as strongly, and sometimes even more strongly, than what happens in the real world.
What is prohibited and illegal in real life must also be prohibited and eliminated from the virtual world.

Unreal levels of censorship coming out of Australia: they want to have the power to shut down individual podcasters.
It’s time for Congress to protect America’s interests, and free speech, on the Internet by passing the GRANITE Act.
“This does give Labor the ability to shut down the podcasters.”
Senator Sarah Henderson discusses the IPA’s concerns about the Digital Duty of Care bill, warning that its sweeping powers could be used to shut down podcasters reaching Australians outside the mainstream media.

The UK is going to ban teenagers under 16 from making youtubes or posting tracks to soundcloud, or posting stories on wattpad, so effectively ending any cultural relevance they might have for the world in the near future by making it illegal to be a creative child.

Are there any sites that aren’t getting banned, eventually these companies are just going to pull out the UK seeing as it isn’t worth gimping their sites just to appease a government where it’s never enough, the fact that not enough people are angry at this is astonishing.
Sodor Pro retweeted
This is absolutely mental. It’d be quicker to list the sites they can use.
