Australian Prime Minister Calls For Ban On Memes - Australian government has gone full authoritarian after passing ‘eSafety’ bill

Excerpt:
"During a press appearance, Anthony Albanese seemed to lump in memes making fun of him with “misinformation” he is claiming should be purged from the internet.

“Social media platforms have a responsibility to make sure that misinformation isn’t got out there,” Albanese stated.

He continued, “I noticed today, for example, on the way up here, they’ve removed various sites that were up containing fake images of myself superimposed on other people.”

Yeah that’s not illegal, it’s called freedom of expression, and… humour.

“That’s the sort of thing that is going on, on social media. Social media has a responsibility to do the right thing here,” he further asserted.


As we earlier highlighted, Albanese and his government are at war with Elon Musk, after the X owner refused demands to remove all copies of a video of Christian Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel being attacked by a Muslim extremist last week."

I'm glad I didn't stay in Australia 10 years ago.
Little but downhill in Oz since the 90's when it was still a glorious place.

    I should say it's nice to see all the imbecilic control freak politicians aren't all in the US, but instead it's sad to see the darn fools are world wide. There needs to be a meme of this guy's head on a baby crying and whining about free speech making him look bad.

      lefties never had "humanity"
      that is why they are lefties

      they keep calling NAZIs right-wing
      that is how clueless they are,

      National Socialists are clearly left wing, that "socialist" thing would give normal people a clue, but they need to lie about it

          From stuff I've recently read and have read, me the getting old dino thinks much of Europe is done also.
          Traitors yearning for a totalitarian ruled one world government must be salivating and licking their venomous chops.

    So, being a bad precedent, Australia wants to censor the world. If they get away with, all the bad actors will want to censor everything they do not like.
