Australian Authorities Can Now Legally Change Citizens' Soci

It is unbelievable because it's not happening. The things mentioned in this article are completely fabricated. I do live in Australia, and none of it is true. Our family regularly laugh at the "things happening in Australia " posts.

I sent an e-mail to prophecy news watch asking if they can verify the article.

Reads like it's real to me. ABC Australia. Not exactly right wing news. Quoting Premier Steven Marshall and his picture from interview. However, this is a pilot program of 50 people. Probably why few have heard of it. Right now it's only home quarantine people. More in the article than what I highlighted.

Headline: How will South Australia's home quarantine trial work?

www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-23/how-will-south-australias-home-quarantine-trial-work/100398878

From link - South Australia has begun a home-based quarantine trial which is tipped to expand to international arrivals.

Here's a look at the trial.

So how will it work?
It will start this week for people returning from New South Wales and Victoria. Premier Steven Marshall said he hoped the trial would be expanded to international travellers in "subsequent weeks", making it a national first. Those in home-based quarantine will need to download an app, developed by the South Australian Government, to prove they are staying home while required to. People wanting to return to South Australia and home quarantine will have to apply to SA Health.

They will have to prove they have a place to isolate during their quarantine period and must also be fully vaccinated. Those who are approved will have to download the South Australian Government home quarantine app, which uses geo-location and facial recognition software to track those in quarantine.The app will contact people at random asking them to provide proof of their location within 15 minutes.
...

When is this starting?
Now. There are people using the home-based quarantine app from today. "The very first person using the home-based quarantine app is now in place,' Mr Marshall said. "This is part of a pilot of around 50 people. "I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app." The Premier said South Australia will report results back to National Cabinet in the coming weeks.

[Edit] Can't speak to the part about social media changes. But comment was none true.

Watch for 'framing' devices.

Also, fact checking would be better defined as finding the original source and asking them; rather than asking the original news article people to fact check themselves. They have a conflict of interest: "Of course it is correct! We only publish the truth!"

I am unsure if you are aware of this, but almost all news comes from two sources: Associated Press, and Reuters. Everyone else regurgitates what these two 'news' organizations report.

No, I don't trust pretty much any politicians on either side.  That goes for media as well. I don't hold up the AP or Reuters, or others, as the bastion of truth. They all have (as do we) biases.  It's not always what they say, but how they say it, and maybe more so, what they leave out.  I linked the Senator's media release from their party web site, because they know what is passed. I only included the first part, which is what the name of the bill is.  I left out commentary. Wasn't my point. The point was a comment that none was true. Now we know there is an app and there is a bill. How people interpret that is a different thing.

If you currently live in Australia, you’re probably already aware that some pretty draconian measures have taken place in the name of public health.
ⓘ

But this next step has crossed the Rubicon into entirely new territory – one in which authorities can legally go into a citizen’s social media account and change what they posted and can make changes to their browsing histories.

The bills passing through the Australian Parliament of late have been mind-boggling but this one goes so far beyond the pale that it’s practically unbelievable.
Why? And why is this an issue?

Because just the other day, the Surveillance Legislation Amendment Bill of 2021 – otherwise known as the Identify and Disrupt Bill – was passed by both houses after having originated within the House of Representatives.

Even more alarming for Americans is the question that must be running through your head. “Is Australia the testing ground for a Brave New World coming to the USA soon?”

Consider this. You live in Australia and regularly read the fantastic website, The Daily Express. Occasionally, you’ll post a link to one of these articles on your social media along with a quick blurb such as “great read,” “something to consider,” or the like.

That’s all you’ve done. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Surely this won’t be a problem, will it?

Thanks to the new law, it sure could be.

The Identify and Disrupt Bill gives both the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission the authority to “disrupt data by modifying, adding, copying, or deleting data to frustrate the commission of serious offences online.” It also allows the police to “take over a person’s online account for the purposes of gathering evidence to further a criminal investigation.” [source]

Here is the summary of the bill directly from the Parliament of Australia government website.
Australian Spokesperson for Justice heavily criticized the bill
Senator Lidia Thorpe released a statement on August 27, stating, “…this bill enables the AFP and ACIC to be ‘judge, jury and executioner.’ That’s not how we deliver justice in this country.” Senator Thorpe goes on to say amendments put forward to protect innocent people from abuse of power were outvoted by the major parties. She also brings up concerns that the bill does not identify why these powers are needed. [source]
The bill, framed as being targeted only towards serious criminal activity, does not define that serious criminal activity. This is where it becomes ambiguous and could lead to abuse of power. Essentially, the Australian government could frame anyone, and they will then have no power to say ‘that isn’t me,’ as it’s under the person’s online signature.
