[Media] Censorship

[@Cicada3301AU]

Sky News and The Australian are censoring the truth more than people realize.
This comment I posted to The Australian was rejected and never published.

It was factual and the truth.
However, for The Australian it's an inconvenient truth they drown out by censorship.

After the Liberal Party initially opposed the draft misinformation Bill, a Bill which will introduce and legalize a form of systematic censorship in Australia, the Liberal Party leader has done a reversal and now says he will support it.
It's made a lot of right-wing voters and Liberal Party supporters angry.
So it should.
However, as I've repeatedly been saying for some time now, the Labor Party and the Liberal Party are two of the same now and both appear willing to erode free speech and implement censorship mechanisms to curb what you can say online.

Australia is increasingly looking like it's attempting to emulate the Chinese censorship machine.
However, the irony is that it's actually looking like it's going even further.
Honestly, I see more controversial content on Weibo than the silly irrelevant unimportant pieces of content the Australian Government is fighting to have taken down off of social networks.
How things change...

It's being suggested that the Australian Government might order Australian ISPs to block access to X.
Let me tell you straight up, that will 100% NOT happen.

Elon Musk might be digging in against a full global block on the now infamous and somewhat sought after "video", however he's no bastion for free speech because most have forgotten he did implement a geo-block on the video.
If Musk truly cared about free speech he'd have told the Australian Government to go screw themselves.
He didn't, instead he [half] complied by geo-blocking.

The video really isn't that bad.
Nobody condones the actions it portrays, however the video itself shows no blood, gore and is not graphic in any sense.
It's available to access in many places, including Q-CHAN here https://www.qanonsec.com/chan/viewtopic.php?p=258#p258
Q-CHAN doesn't censor and we don't geo-block.

Some people have a very warped view of what defines censorship.
Elon Musk is one of them.

Australia's eSafety Commissioner has already gone after X, and is now going after Gab.
So stupid.

Why are media stories with mentions of "Kerry Stokes" increasingly having their comments section disabled?
Is it probably something to do with Kerry Stokes' funding of the defense of war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith?
Kerry Stokes supports war crimes and the egotistical war criminals who engage in the killing of innocent, unarmed civilians in the battlefield.
