It was also the brainchild of an unelected American with CIA ties who for some reason gets to decide what we can and can't see on the internet under the guide of eSafety

Membrane because I'm poor
I get where you're coming from but it was all the result of user requests. People were asking Proton to make more services and apps for years
Not that I was planning to visit the US anyway but I guess this seals it
They'll probably treat having no social media as suspicious even if it's true and deny you entry
And I'm sure if citizens do anything to remove malware on their devices they'll be criminally charged too 🤡
- You have to hand over a huge amount of personal info about yourself & others to estate agents when renting a property - which they then sell to advertisers & you have no opt-out
- Similarly, landords can require you to use a proprietary app for rent payments, which of course collects & sells your private data too
- Burner phones are effectively illegal (telcos are required to collect & retain ID of every phone number they register)
- Telcos and ISPs are required to collect & retain logs of all your activities for a minimum of two years
- In some cities police can detain & search you & your property for no reason, and require you to remove any facial coverings
- It's illegal to refuse to hand over passwords to cops (6 years jail is the max term I think)
- Police can hack your device, take over your social media, delete or modify your data for an investigation, or survey any digital device if they "think it is likely to be used by someone subject to a warrant" (this particular bill was announced and then rushed through parliament in less than 24 hours to give the public as little time as possible to protest it
- Some social media sites (including github(wtf)) are now required to age-verify all users beginning next month. Which will obviously lead to mass leaks & breaches of private data which the gov will turn a blind eye to
This is Australia. I hate it here
See people here want gambling ads banned, but the PM has ties to gambling lobby groupa so the gov won't touch it. But when it comes to laws nobody wants like giving cops more invasive surveillance power the government can suddenly expedite them at record speed. We live in a fake democracy
