PSA: Australia passed a legislation that resulted in the censorship of news and now no one is able to share or receive news on Facebook where so many people share news about the pandemic, COVID cases in their city, bushfires, updates on Deaths in Custody cases etc

TW// Rape

This is also more alarming because a former staffer, Brittany Higgins, was so brave to share her story about being raped in parliament and no you can no longer share that information

And health organisation’s are also censored?!? IN A PANDEMIC?!?

I’m losing my mind. This is ALARMING.

The way that Google is also potentially having to do this as well because of the government

First of all, don’t be a crusty, musty ass loser telling me this ain’t censorship. A white old man who owns majority of these news outlets pushed this legislation. This forces independent, grassroots and BLACK owned news outlets out of business

Ya mother did not give birth to you to be loud and wrong in my mentions. Far cup.

And the news is NOT ACCESSIBLE EITHER. How tf are the HoH & Deaf and Blind community suppose to get the news too???

Everyone knows how mob use Facebook. This is devastating for us.

Facebook connects our communities better than Twitter. Better than Instagram. Its how news is shared between us.

I found out about the body bags being sent to communities at the start of the pandemic on Facebook. Found out about travel bans to home on Facebook. It’s literally one of the only things my old people know how to use

Anyways both the Government and Facebook trash.

The way this legislation will affect other platforms tho... it’s stressful. How will our people be able to share news immediately? From one place to another.
