New Australian legislation marketed as protecting citizens from "harmful misinformation" raises major red flags for individual liberty. The Human Rights Commission itself is sounding the alarm, warning that this trojan horse could be weaponized to silence dissenting voices under the guise of fighting "misinformation."
While bureaucrats added window dressing about "serious harm," the bill's vague language leaves the door wide open for government overreach. Even more concerning: reduced platform transparency requirements mean less public oversight of enforcement.
The state wants three years before review - a lifetime in the digital age. Time to push back before another domino falls in the global war on wrongthink.
