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?

Thankfully, we also have a community that know what VPN stands for. Which is a good thing because if OZ sends us a nastygram, I'm going to flatly refuse, as an individual, to do a damned thing about it unless the community just wants to see how many ways I can think of to tell them to fuck off, eat a bag of dicks, etc...
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
