That was one of the cases in the past year, whereby the person (author/content creator) who starts a thread is liable. Liability, not anything else, but actual liability.

Item #7 actually covers it fairly well,

The precedent has been set in Australia.

The big tech are covered, as ALL the responsibility is now on the content creators (admins etc) and as such ALL the liability is on them too.

Now, I understand that many a person both in the legal field and out, may have an opinion about this and back those opinions with various facts or evidence, however, so, that does not change the ruling, nor the implications it has for every single Australian citizen.

All an Aussie has to do is to start a thread online, leave it published and if any comment is made in the thread that is considered to be "a legal issue", it is on the person who made the original post/thread.

Like I stated, no matter how much many of us are all against this BS, that doesn't change what the court has done and what the politicians welcomed with open arms!
