Collective Shout, a small but vocal lobby group, has long called for a mandatory internet filter that would prevent access to adult content for everyone in Australia. Its director, Melinda Tankard Reist, was recently appointed to the stakeholder advisory board for the government’s age assurance technology trial before the under-16s social media ban comes into effect in Australia in December.

"[Elon Musk] said he wanted to get his own X payments platform «going soon»".

Surely that's going to solve the problem. There's absolutely no censorship on Twitter. /s

Oh it'll be interesting to see how he manages to make a worse payment processor than PayPal. I wouldn't have thought it was possible.

Elon was fired as CEO of PayPal, so he already has the credentials

When there are enough competing parties, the argument of "I live in country A and I don't care about B's special services reading my messages", where A and B are in a state of adversity, starts working.

By competing parties I mean not just A and B, but a plethora of snakes in that pit.

So - do it Elon. It's fine.

Didn't he invest in Dogecoin?
