Calling all Aussies - Oppose police state ASS Access Bill - Protect your privacy.

in #teamaustralia6 years ago (edited)

This is a video is a MUST WATCH for every Australian!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=eW-OMR-iWOE

The Australian Government is looking to pass legislation that will completely undermine your online privacy and digital security.

ASS Access will destroy online privacy and security and turn Australia into a Police State.

It will undermine trust in both tech companies and the Australian government.

We have seen in the US how intelligence agencies can be politicised and misused, even with judicial oversight (Trump FISA warrants).

Without proper judicial oversight this Bill will take Australia further down the road of being a police state.

It will cause tech companies to avoid Australia.

And it is completely unnecessary, and like so much of these new anti-terror laws punishes the innocent ordinary Australian and misses the terrorists.
Criminals and terrorists will use technologies and services outside Australia’s control which will continue to provide strong encryption.

Ordinary people who use the services of the big tech companies with Australian presence will have their security and online privacy undermine for no real benefit.

Sort:  

We're already a police state, it's just a matter of time before everyone realises.

True, but this ASS Access Bill makes it much worse.

Such an important issue, I can't believe Australians aren't protesting in the streets over this

Yes, the apathy is extraordinarily.

Its quite ironic, but Israel has far less draconian laws on these issues and no restriction on use of encryption or requirements for tech companies to provide backdoors etc. See https://academic.oup.com/idpl/article/2/4/277/676924

Given that Israel is under a much greater level of threat, it shows that such draconian laws are completely unnecessary to provide security to citizens.

"At the same time, the Israeli encryption control mechanisms operate without directly legislating any form of encryption-key depositories, built-in back or front door access points, or other similar requirements. Instead, Israel’s system emphasizes smooth initial licensing processes and cultivates government-private sector collaboration." https://www.lawfareblog.com/how-does-israel-regulate-encryption

Yes but the idea that people should have to even protest about laws like this being implemented is the travesty of democracy.

They aren't protesting in the street because most won't even have heard about it or realise the implications if they have.

Yeah can't you tell the fluoride is working in the water supply for most Aussies @skycorridors we are fighting adani at the moment. So many distractions
