Australia has rammed through another law requiring “abhorrent” video, audio or still images to be removed within an hour. This will apply to content providers both in and out of Australia as long as the content is available to Australians. Individuals and companies face jail time and/or huge fines if the content is not removed "within a reasonable time". If the content is found to be hosted in Australia then the Australian government must be alerted. This is yet another knee jerk reaction to the NZ shootings which were streamed live online.
Who is paying for someone to be awake at 3am to curate and remove this stuff?

Why you?
My view is that it is completely unjustified.
They didn't have the technology. And push technology of the day might be great for relatively unified viewpoints (what is the value of that supposed to be again?), but also unified lies and unified blindness.

Rephrase your question, please. It so terse, it became ambiguous of what exactly are you asking.
In particular, my intention was to point various opinion may exists. The use of 'we' (in the 'do we want... etc') is loaded with the assumption all need to share the same opinion.
It's still push today, one can't pull a content into existence, someone needs to create the content and push it first.
Are you saying that the Germans, for which Nazi content is illegal even today, are automatically blind and believing a lie?
Or are you making a 'slippery slope' argument and you expect me to accept it?
