Julie Inman Grant

Australians are particularly susceptible to online scams, despite having a full swathe of internet safety regulators.

Australia’s internet watchdog Julie Inman Grant gets a report on what people are saying about her three or four times a day.

The judge found that trying to continue to ban the spread of a video on X globally would have been overreach by local authorities.

Australia’s internet regulator ordered X to remove a post critical of the WHO appointing a trans-activist to an expert panel.

Eight reasons why the muzzle of moderation trumps the megaphone of freedom.

Australia’s eSafety Commission is locked in a legal tussle with X owner Elon Musk, we explore just how much power this online content regulator has.

‘Often what they mean by misinformation is ordinary people who have the temerity to disagree with the elites.’

‘Nothing can justify the Australian government censoring the entire global Internet of content it does not like.’

The eSafety commissioner had ordered the removal of the footage but X’s response was to block the video to Australian IP addresses, the court was told.

‘I achieved more in four days than I could in four years,’ said Julie Inman Grant.

With fines and take-down notices piling up, and the social media giant vowing to test their validity in court, X says free speech trumps all.

In the 1980s, Australians fought hard against a similar national ID program, what has changed since then?

eSafety admitted it had no enforcement power to make X pay a $610,000 fine.

If there is any doubt as to ACMA’s role as a state censor, impending laws say government information cannot be labelled misinformation or disinformation.
