The censorship industrial complex is going on the offensive. New legislation being field tested in Australia would give the government the power to run AI bot networks/sock puppets, apparently to secretly influence & manipulate online debates. Creepy af. H/t @NAffects @MikeNayna
Sick stuff by Australia’s “eSafety Minister,” an American who out of the blue volunteered to a reporter that the CIA recruited her and that she doesn’t work for the CIA. She’s the lady who tried to censor a video globally. #FiveEyeys 👀
Funny how the last time the IC and media created a misinformation panic to justify censorship it accused Russians of operating bot farms for election interference. Now the Australian government wants to run its own bots, presumably for the same reason, to interfere in elections.
Glad to see the censorship creeps continue to take inspiration from Russians
I love how they put “without limitations” to abuse their powers in parentheses
They’re not even trying to hide that they’re doing this to censor their political enemies
