Shoutout & big thanks 🙏🏽 to all the Aussie nostr #austrich for welcoming me in to #nostr 🫂🇦🇺🍻 I think I’m gonna like it here 😎

Where is everyone at with the Misinformation laws being debated here in Oz?

Far as I can tell it can include bullshit like a social media post that a ‘reasonable’ person thinks will contribute to harm to Australian banks! Except govt approved media & politicians are exempt & can have their misinformation posts stay up.

Orwell would be looking at us going my shit wasn’t meant to be a blueprint guys

The mystery ingredient in these laws is "discretion".

Prosecutors will only come after people the powerful don't like.

"The rule of Men not Laws", but they hide behind a law to do it.

I can see it playing out as a case of the social media platforms erring on the side of being over cautious & just taking down any post that gets close to what the govt guidelines on misinformation are.

No prosecution even required. The threat of 5% of their global revenue on the line means the govt will effectively outsource the policing to them.

The average normie won’t even notice the difference in their feeds, the posts just won’t be there.

Yeah it's a pretty dystopian orwellian nightmare sadly. Not sure where we go from here but if humanity is to succeed we need freedom money and freedom media. Luckily we have both! Not enough people willing to change their core, but broken values.

To them it's like throwing the captain overboard and making yourself a tyrant. Reality is we just want to be more self sovereign and tell the state and their depraved acts toeards humanity and for all life... is fucked in the head!

Yep pretty much how I see it. Imagine if these tech savvy cypher punk anarchist legends hadn’t given us all Bitcoin & nostr! Fuck I can’t even imagine.

After trying to orange pill ppl on btc & usually not getting far I sort of settled on just being the best version of yourself & attracting the questions on Bitcoin to you, which usually happens at times like this when the price runs up anyways.

With govt overreach on free speech & nostr, I’m gonna take the same approach. Try & learn how to run a relay, even if takes me a year or more. Eventually friends or family etc will get burnt in some way by the misinformation bullshit when it’s something that affects them, and at that time I’ll be ready for their questions

Love seeing you dive deep into nostr on day 1 my friend, and getting right into it 🤜💥🤛

May as well jump straight in the deep end & learn to swim 🤝

🎯🤝🫡
