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?

Easier to just make a regex command I'd think
there is a good start!

Aristarchus will be pleased to have been left out of that regex!

I must object. I have a feeling of being left out somehow.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.
