      I initially agreed with you but this is a bit different. Actually haven’t banned anything it’s just a court order so it wasn’t done because some politician decided it should happen it was done because of things that Twitter chose to do, or not do as the case may be.

      Presumably this won’t be permanent provided the capitulate.

      I think they don’t have a literal national firewall, rather they demanded every single ISP in the country to block the domain.

        Anyone who tries to use software to access the platform now faces fines of up to A$13,000 per day.

        Criminalizing access sounds worse than a national firewall but sure.

        i’m pretty sure that’s how most national firewalls work. it’s still government censorship of internet resources on a national level
