Politicising decisions about the Internet’s inner workings sets a dangerous precedent that puts us on the fast track to a #splinternet. internetsociety.org/news/sta… #StopTheSplinternet
Defend the Internet, Stop the Splinternet - Internet Society

Defend the Internet, Stop the Splinternet - Internet Society

Geopolitics must not influence the management and operations of the Internet, and sanctions should not disrupt access. We must defend this resource.

Stupid thing is...anti-corruption bodies were originally in the TOLA Bill. They were taken out in a last-minute amendment to get the bill passed the first time... on the basis they wouldn't need the powers over Christmas holidays (2019) but the anti-terror agencies might.

People have been spreading, believing & falling for bizarre ideas and scams for centuries. Used to be spread by pamphlet, leaflet, newspapers and word-of-mouth. Good that online sources make it just as easy to debunk misinformation as spread it - the medium is not the message

This NBN announcement is very welcome, but it won't "expected to create 25,000 jobs". At best, it might keep 25,000 in jobs that would have lose their jobs no longer required due to the broader rollout being completed.

This is great news, and a vindication for all those over the decade campaigning for a proper network. All those claiming 'no willingness to pay' for high speeds, and no societal value in building the NBN in the first place, must be feeling very foolish today.

How much to be spent on educating parents and children to protect themselves? None? Disgracefully simplistic to deny families their own online safety protected by encryption, just because it's difficult to catch criminals using the same tools.

The AFP will have its cyber capabilities significantly bolstered so it can track down serious criminals using computer servers on the "dark web" within Australia.

Families drink water. Criminals drink water. We don't poison water supplies in order to catch the crims, the collatoral damage to families and law-abiding community is too great. /2

Way back in 1995 Secure Sockets Layer (#SSL) was introduced by #Netscape to provide authentication for a website and enable an encrypted connection. Today SSL has been replaced by Transport Layer Security (#TLS) #InternetHistory #Encryption

Yes we did. And continue to do. Voluntarily, unpaid, because this needs educated pushback. But that time and expertise would be better applied to making things better, not just making things less bad.
