Win for Free Speech! Australia Drops Global Takedown Order Case
www.eff.orgNo single country should be able to restrict speech across the entire internet.

This development comes just days after EFF and FIRE were granted official intervener status in the case.

I do not have any obligation to follow the laws in a foreign country. It doesn’t matter how graphics or controversial it is. A country takedown order should be country specific. It is an overreach to try to do it world wide.
I think it’s overreach inside the county too. There has been far too many events in recent history that have been surpressed because it would undermine the peoples view of the ruling government
Well that isn’t something a foreign power should decide. That is up to the Australians
