This is *5-Eyes member AU - dont act like they can’t simply redirect your internet traffic off of US soil or EU soil to AU soil to force decryption. There are no laws yet that require companies to keep your data stateside in-transit etc. ie MITM attack cloudflares biz model or ReCaptcha or google crap. I sense 4/5 are helped w this lobby effort.

I have high hopes for Mastodon, and it’s extremely exciting to be able to try out different communities around the frediverse: how will moderation scale? Instances will have to stay relatively small (a few hundred) to be manageable by solely the admin, or something else?

So there was a big protest today by schoolkids who blew off school and marched in the streets over government inaction on climate change.
The Prime Minister has said they should be less activist and focus on their schooling instead.
I just saw this sign. These kids are great.
