Australia, what happened to Australia? It seems they are hating on Elon Musk nowadays. Well, that is, a former executive of Twitter is hating on Elon. Before Musk bought the big bird called Twitter, Julie Inman Grant was its director of public policy in Australia. But now she works as Australia’s eSafety commissioner. And she’s coming for Elon and his free speech.
Julie is still butthurt over the purchase of Twitter by Elon, it seems. However, she means business, and she demands answers. I guess Australia could fine Twitter $475,000 a day if Elon Musk doesn’t fess up with an answer. I do not understand this at all. How can a country fine a company over a policy (or lack thereof in their minds) and over something that can be interpreted 100 different ways? I think that’s the number of pronouns we are up to now.
My question is, who determines hate speech?
