@za33685 @SkyNewsAust i'm sure if albo was speaking they'd make damn sure there's no hidden banners to hijack his presser, you can only have the commies looking good
English

@SkyNewsAust Security obviously needs to be tightened at the national press club. It's just sloppy management and security.

Pauline Hanson's National Press Club address has been hijacked by activists after a banner attacking the One Nation leader unfurled on the wall behind her.

@boringcompany needs a live webcam with a map location overlay to watch progress

@elonmusk it's a travesty that too many people aren't seeing the urgency behind these global changes and where they're headed. it's fairly benign for now but no doubt leading up to "misinformation control" where criticism of government will be removed from any social discussion

They always use defensible excuses for the indefensible

This is the point. Same will happen in all countries that will make social media age restrictions. “Won’t someone think of the children” is usually not about the children
English

@Polymarket At some point King Charles needs to dissolve Parliament to save his nation. The elected officials are literally taking rights from legal born citizens regularly at this point.
English

@Keir_Starmer Big assertive words: "must now", "ensure", "permanently", "finalised", "priority", "severe economic impacts", "leading role in planning", "essential", "robust", "fully implemented", "firm", "never"... for so little action

@donkeeohtee @SenatorSeanBell "foreign interference", funny how albo seems to be singing the same tunes as a number of other 'like-minded' nations, is he the leader or the follower? either way the momentum is real, Aussies have had enough of two parties presenting the same policies acting as opposition
English

@SenatorSeanBell Polls absolute rubbish, research where they get their numbers from:/
r/funny: 67 Million Members
r/AskReddit: 55 Million Members
r/gaming: 47 Million Members
r/worldnews: 46 Million Members [1]
Obviously not all from Australia and no doubt with foreign interference in Australia.

@JEChalmers @60Mins @9NewsAUS smooth words but we have zero faith in them, I really hope this is reflected in every election moving forward. A progressive society should not be living under a regressive standard of living, every year seems worse than the last in recent years

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

@realKyleShake @zerohedge it may not have been in their best interests to shoot down a US helicopter to help along negotiations

US Begins "Self-Defense" Strikes Against Multiple Targets In Iran

@realJimJacobson @FoxNews conversely the world does nothing and allow a literal death cult to obtain nuclear weapons. that's what they're trying to sell us but for some reason most of us don't think it's a great idea
English

@FoxNews Republicans and Fox News viewers love war in the Middle East. It gets them so excited. As long as they don’t have to do anything, they want more of it.
English

JUST IN: Speaker Mike Johnson says he was in the White House Situation Room with President Trump and top officials before U.S. forces launched what were described as self-defense strikes against Iran.
Johnson calls the operation “proportional and limited,” targeting radar, missile and command-and-control sites.

@topicswithatee @signalapp you are the problem with this world, in what universe is the achievement monitoring of everyone everywhere all the time something to celebrate? you never read 1984? ever speak to someone from a country suffering from political oppression of opponents?
English

@signalapp Its not dystopian, and it will safeguard children. Don't bullshit it us. Enough with the fucking tech overlords
English

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

@AronKlassen @ezralevant they need to increase education, and empower parents, giving government complete control over our internet access and social posts should never be supported by the people. If evil sites are targeting children we need better ways of managing it than more government power
English

@ezralevant I get your argument, and it's a valid concern... but at the same time I agree with the sentiment. Hate to say I agree with anything Carney does but... The same should be applied to porn sites... Kids are worth protecting.
English

That's the thing about making kids under 16 prove their age.
It's a back-door way to make everyone over 16 provide their ID, too.
Canada's authoritarian government wants to track everything everyone does online.
They're just pretending it's about kids.
National Post@nationalpost
Carney government to ban social media for kids younger than 16, but will allow exemptions nationalpost.com/news/politics/…
English

Both major parties here in oz made it pretty clear and we're seeing the same rollout globally. Since both major parties agreed they had a perfect global test population - i.e., there's not a fucking thing we can do about it because we can't just vote for the "other party". In a few short years we had the covid restrictions, then the new 'encryption laws', then we had the disinformation/misinformation laws that didn't quite get through (yet), then finally the under 16 social media laws.
Disinformation/misinformation laws will likely return under the guise of "protecting the children" since those measures were designed to fail anyway. To top it off we'll have our digital ID and our new incoming CBDC to harden up the controls.
