    Good news in my opinion, Australia was overreaching with this. Would have set a stupid precedent.

      Yeah I was a bit torn on this, initially I was on the government’s side because I don’t like it when big multinationals try to fuck us around (like Valve). But like the news thing a couple of years ago I have to side with the tech giant.

      If the government gets to decide what we can and can’t see then I think democracy is in trouble.

      As much as I hate to agree with Space Karen I think you are right how can one sovereign country dictate what can be seen in other countries?
