The White male suicide rate in the United States is higher right now than it was during the Great Depression… The reason nobody talks about it is because it’s part of the plan.

This quote from @AlboMP literally sums up his tenure as Prime Minster. We live in difficult times, because of him and his retarded government.

Communist China policies warn Australia about misinformation bill and digital ID based social media restrictions. Unbiased reporting from GROK AI, about what's currently happening in China, highlights some major points about the dangers of imposing misinformation legislation and the unintended consequences of government controlled social media restrictions using digital ID frameworks. KEY POINTS: ◻️ Platforms like WeChat have internal guidelines that are stricter than even the government's requirements, leading to self-censorship ◻️ Users [register] with their real identities on social media platforms, facilitating tracking and to identify individuals who post content against state policies or laws. ◻️ Social credit system could affect social media use by penalizing individuals for making comments critical of the state ◻️ The government runs campaigns to educate citizens on what is considered acceptable behavior online ◻️ Surveillance and Enforcement: The state employs a large number of people to monitor online discourse There are some sources that say Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (In the 1980s), was involved with "Hard Left" factions of the Labor Party in New South Wales, which "reportedly maintained links with broader left-wing groups including the Communist Party of Australia (CPA)" That might mean that the Australian Government currently in power looks favourably at systems of Government in China. Quote from GROK AI: "The Chinese government employs several methods to enforce and regulate social media use, aiming to control the flow of information, maintain social stability, and prevent dissent: **1. Legal Framework:** - **Cybersecurity Law**: Enacted in 2017, this law requires internet companies to monitor content, comply with government requests for data, and ensure that no content deemed illegal or harmful to state security or public morality is posted. - **State Secrets Law**: Recently updated to include internet firms' responsibilities in monitoring information shared by users that could be classified as state secrets. **2. Great Firewall:** - The Great Firewall of China is a combination of legislative actions and technologies used to block access to selected foreign websites and slow down cross-border internet traffic. This includes blocking sites like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and other Western social media platforms, pushing users towards domestic platforms that are easier to monitor and censor. **3. Real-Name Registration:** - Users are required to register with their real identities on social media platforms, facilitating easier tracking and enforcement of regulations. This policy helps in identifying individuals who post content against state policies or laws. **4. Content Monitoring and Censorship:** - **Automated Systems**: Use of keyword filters, image recognition, and other AI technologies to automatically screen and censor content in real-time. - **Manual Censorship**: Human reviewers at social media companies work alongside algorithms to ensure that sensitive topics or posts that might lead to collective action are removed or altered. **5. Self-Censorship:** - Platforms like Weibo and WeChat have internal guidelines that are stricter than even the government's requirements, leading to self-censorship where platforms preemptively remove content or suspend accounts to avoid penalties. **6. Social Credit System:** - Although still in development, elements of the social credit system could affect social media use by penalizing individuals for spreading false information or making comments critical of the state, impacting their social credit score which in turn could limit their access to services or travel. **7. Account Restrictions and Bans:** - Deletion of posts or suspension of accounts that violate regulations. For instance, accounts that engage in spreading rumors, misinformation, or content critical of the government might be banned or have their visibility reduced. **8. Surveillance and Enforcement:** - **Public Opinion Analysts**: The state employs a large number of people to monitor online discourse, often referred to as the "50 Cent Army" for their supposed payment rate per post, to shape public opinion by posting pro-government content or countering dissenting voices. - **Internet Police**: Dedicated units within the police force focus on cyber activities, including enforcing social media rules. **9. Public Campaigns and Education:** - The government runs campaigns to educate citizens on what is considered acceptable behavior online, promoting the idea that online activities reflect on one's patriotism and social responsibility. **10. Technological Restrictions:** - Apps and services that might bypass these controls, like VPNs which can access blocked content, are often targeted. While not outright illegal, their usage can lead to legal consequences, as mentioned by users on platforms like X. **11. International Pressure:** - The government pressures foreign companies to comply with their regulations if they want to operate in China. This includes removing content or providing user data when requested. The enforcement mechanisms are designed to not only control the narrative but also to foster an environment where individuals might self-regulate their online behavior due to the fear of repercussions. This multi-faceted approach ensures that both the content and the users are under surveillance, promoting a controlled digital environment aligned with the state's interests."
