<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">I've skimmed the bill, and without apologies, I support the intent, for the following reasons:<br><br>There is much on the internet that is simply not fit for human consumption, and the state ought to have the power to remove it. Where the bill specifies abhorrent violent content, I think most sane people realise there is nothing to gain in allowing this content.<br><br>The big social media companies, principally US based, will beef, because their business model has to align to the 1st amendment. It will *gasp* cost them money to have to remove this rubbish.<br><br>Also why the focus on the rights of media companies to disseminate content not fit for human consumption? What about the rights of the individuals involved? The people being kidnapped, raped, tortured, murdered on video have rights, and those rights extend to not having the video available to indulge the morbid prurience of the deeply disturbed, 4chan, and others.<br><br>The bill explicitly excludes provision of carriage as grounds for being considered a content provider. So the bill can't actually be used to ban dark net, regrettable though that may be.<br><br>Kind regards<br><br>Paul Wilkins<br><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 4 Apr 2019 at 12:38, Serge Burjak <<a href="mailto:sburjak@systech.com.au">sburjak@systech.com.au</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Very scary section</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">(4) The eSafety Commissioner is not required to observe any requirements of procedural fairness in relation to the issue of a
