“We’re doing this for your own good”. This is the way the totalitarian state always starts,but misery and chaos is always the outcome. The speed of this transition is breathtaking.
‘the regulator will start enforcing the Online Safety Act’s illegal content codes, requiring social media companies to find and remove content such as child sexual abuse material.The illegal content codes relate to material such as child sexual exploitation and abuse, terrorism, hate crimes, content encouraging or assisting suicide, and fraud.’
bill we get it, the church has been abusing young boys and girls for centuries and the senior church members have happily either ignored it or in some cases endorsed it by doing nothing about it when they knew it was taking place. Of course your against it because your faith goes along with it and has done for centuries but hopefully change in the law will stamp it out.
All crimes are there ‘for our own good’. If it’s a scary totalitarian state to have laws at all we’d have chaos under anarchy. No murder, fraud, theft, rape or other crimes could be punished because laws ‘for our own good’ is apparently totalitarianism.
This doesn’t mean that this law is good, but arguing against enacting laws because laws that consider how others are treated are evil communism is a daft argument. I am also not inclined to take anyone seriously about totalitarian states coming when they are support the ever growing authoritarian rhetoric and rulings coming from the USA.

The Palestinians
The Greenlanders
The Canadians
The Mexicans
The EU etc etc etc.
Do ya reckon Catholic priests said the same thing to their young victims when they were sexually abusing them after choir practice?, did God tell the priests to say it?
The child sex abuse in various churches is and was a horrendous affair and one which the culprits used the power gained through their religious position to manipulate trust and browbeat any concerns with how’ moral’ they are. However, it isn’t the only source for child abuse, as seen with football clubs for example. I find BPG to be very wrongheaded, but it’s unfair to use this against him or others here. I don’t think it’s that relevant and just seems an excuse to attack him and others for their faith.
