~~As an Australian I am happy we are protected by this form of government censorship, making it harder for them to sweep other atrocities under the rug.~~ I do wish however social media would be more active in restricting graphic content.
Edit: I read the article again, sadly it was a voluntary retraction of the take down order, not a law preventing them.
I do not have any obligation to follow the laws in a foreign country. It doesn't matter how graphics or controversial it is. A country takedown order should be country specific. It is an overreach to try to do it world wide.
I think it's overreach inside the county too. There has been far too many events in recent history that have been surpressed because it would undermine the peoples view of the ruling government
Well that isn't something a foreign power should decide. That is up to the Australians
