Organisations and groups who want to protect privacy should come up with ways themselves on how to protect their services from certain activities.

You mean like implementing strong data privacy measures and fighting regulators to protect them? That sounds like a good idea to me. If you’re interested, that is what the article is about.

No, I mean that they should think of own measurements against illegal media and communication.

You can’t have both privacy and protection from illegal media and communication.

We need a robust democracy with strong regulation, not a lack of structure in our society.

Yeah so we have a robust system of checks and balances, strong regulation and systemic processes to discourage corruption. For example, if you are in your role due to a public election or representing a public body and you are found to have taken bribes you have to serve 20 years in prison and lose all entitlements associated with your office including pensions.

But didn’t proton give up some information to like the Finnish government or something like that a couple years back? Like I mean what they’re doing now is good, but what about that other thing that happened?

They gave up information to the Swiss government after they got a warrant, and due to the way Proton works, they were only able to give them the IP address so they could arrest the person, who was also Swiss. They didn’t compromise security, because they can’t.

They don’t respond to demands from other governments, and the Swiss government haven’t cooperated with other governments either, so far as anyone knows. In the end, there isn’t really anything the Australian government can do to them if they refuse to create a backdoor for them.

They follow Swiss law. The Swiss govt had a legal warrant and they only provided legally required informationafter that.

It’s not anarchic. They still have to abide by the law of their jurisdiction.

Australia is a country with shit laws as someone who lives in Australia

Life is fine unless you somehow manage to break those stupid laws

For example there was that video of the one guy from Australia who wanted to ban anime, yeah some of our politician’s are that stupid

Thankfully anime isn’t banned completely but hentai is which I find stupid because it’s fictional drawings

Hentai is NOT banned here in Australia. As an Australian I’m sure you knew that and had some reason to lie. The freaks who import DVDs and manga from Japan depicting minors are getting targeted by immigration, but it isn’t a general ban. But who cares about them? If they are looking for something too fucked up to be on the internet it’s probably pedophilia. Also I want you to know that every time I hear someone bring up that hentai is fictional and above criticism I assume they are an actual child molester.

I’m not lying and I had no intent to lie, as my experience living in Australia all I’ve seen is that Australia has banned hentai

Your experience of living in Australia is very likely different to mine as we are not the same person

Im very well aware of the import ban: https://www.abf.gov.au/importing-exporting-and-manufacturing/prohibited-goods/list-of-items

But it will help them in their corruption and self-enrichment, which is the entire purpose of all attempts to erode civil liberties.

Closest we got was Tank Girl and…well…it’s Tank Girl. With ninjaroo’s and missile tits.

But yeah you could totally do a Jurassic Park/Planet of the Apes rewrite mashup and someone would watch it at least once.
