>The Criminal Code Amendment (Sharing of Abhorrent Violent Material) Bill passed the Senate yesterday with no amendments from the Opposition
>The laws are aimed at preventing the “weaponisation of social media platforms” following the Christchurch attack during which Facebook’s live-streaming service was used to broadcast the killing of 50 people.
>Platforms anywhere around the world will be required to notify the Australian Federal Police (AFP) of any “abhorrent violent conduct” being streamed once they become aware of it. Failing to notify the AFP can result in fines of up to $168,00 for an individual or $840,000 for corporations.
>In a letter, DIGI raises concerns over social media company’s being forced to share data with the AFP, which would violate laws in some parts of the world.
I fucking hate most of you uneducated faggots spouting bullshit about race and multiculturalism, but dammit even none of that should be censored. That's where we are heading with amendments like this. Closer and closer to less free speech.
