I HATE agreeing with this.
But in this particular case, he's right.
We only have an IMPLIED Freedom of Speech. In this day and age, it's not enough.

πŸ’© is hitting the fan all over the place.

If you're interested in what program I'm using to track all this πŸ’© hitting the fan in real time it's World Monitor. It takes a bit to set is all up, but it's worth the persistence.

Resist β€˜dangerous and socially unacceptable’ age checks for social media, scientists warn Computer scientists are campaigning against the global march toward age checks online.

"it is β€œdangerous and socially unacceptable to introduce a large-scale access control mechanism without a clear understanding of the implications” for security, privacy and people’s freedom and autonomy"

Australia will consider requiring app stores to block AI services without age verification Australia's government may take a strict stance on ensuring younger users cannot access AI chatbots.

In what universe does he think people won't get around this?

This age verification fad is getting technically unhinged.

Social media ban: More harm than good Australia's social media ban will isolate vulnerable children from online support communities.

@melissamarsdenphd.bsky.social I just finished reading your article - Social media ban: More harm than good. As someone that also underwent deliberate and continual bullying at school from primary to Y7, I fully agree with everything in your article.

This is a perfect example of why AI should never be trusted, and if your lawyer is relying on one to cite cases...

Fire them immediately.

And politicians who make laws around technology they barely understand should face similar consequences.

weird how all the middle class whites who dominate public discourse are not questioning how the worst police violence against middle class whites ever filmed in a public place was enabled by restrictions that police and politicians said were for β€œpublic safety”.

Oh great, not only are big AI corporations taking a large slice of the RAM pie for their blasted AI machines, they're also coming for the mass storage too.
It was bad enough when Bitcoin was eating all the graphics cards... Which by the way, also feed the AI machine.

Attach a social credit score and you have your very own China!
I suppose it would be handy to spot your local Jeffrey Epsteins on the street, but I do wonder what score the old Tangerine Terror would have considering his track record.
If you had enough money could you buy your own score?

Probably.

Herzog said it β€œwas obscure and odd” how many police were needed to protect this event, and called for β€œall protestors” to protest outside the Iranian embassy instead.

Last time I checked it wasn't Iran flattening Gaza killing ~73,000+ civilians, most of them women and children.

I can't remember the last time a liberal leader resigned and wan't knifed out of the job. Was it Howard?
The list is getting kinda long and my memory isn't as good as it used to be.
...Oh wait that's right Dutton was knifed by his electorate.
