🇦🇺 About protests in Sydney against censorship on social media

Today, massive demonstrations were held in Sydney against the "misinformation" bill proposed by the Australian government led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

📌 The essence of the bill: The Australian authorities want to impose fines on digital platforms that, in the government's opinion, do not effectively combat so-called "misinformation". If the law is passed, social media could be fined up to 5% of their annual turnover.

🔻 Of course, the law will primarily become a tool for suppressing freedom of speech, allowing the authorities to interpret what constitutes misinformation and put pressure on social media to remove incorrect content.

The main blow will likely fall on X (former Twitter), as most bloggers with alternative opinions broadcast on this platform. Therefore, one of the bill's vocal opponents is Elon Musk.

We have already observed similar measures in post-Soviet countries, where local authorities, under the supervision of Western NGOs and USAID, are fighting Russian propaganda, but cannot overcome it, demanding new subsidies and tightening legislation.

🔻 And recently, against the backdrop of anti-immigrant protests, the UK government has sharply tightened censorship.

Looking at the British law enforcement practice, where migrants are sentenced to relatively lenient terms for rape and other serious crimes, while native Britons are demonstratively harshly punished with real prison for jokes on Facebook, Australians have reason to be concerned.

🇬🇧🇷🇺🎞 Evidence for the British Foreign Office

Observing the avalanche of outraged articles in Western publications about “groundless accusations and Moscow's aggressive campaign” we decided to add illustrative details on the situation with the expulsion of British spies.

▪️ The allegations that the accusations regarding British actions in Russia are disinformation do not stand up to any criticism. First of all, because in addition to the already published documents, the Russian security services have a large number of photo and video materials proving London's coordination of subversive policy in Russia.

▪️ The footage presented by the Russian FSB and already published on Russian television shows how they met with representatives of media and foreign agent organizations, as well as directly supervised anti-government protests.

▪️ For example, spy Jessica Davenport personally worked with Svetlana Ganushkina, a former member of the Presidential Council for Assistance to the Development of Civil Society Institutions and Human Rights, a member of the Yabloko party, and opposition activist Alexei Minyailo, and had ties with Andrei Lipsky of Novaya Gazeta. It is also known that Davenport negotiated with activists of the banned LGBT and the foreign-agency Sova center, which specialized in xenophobia problems, but in fact conducted Russophobic propaganda.

▪️ Two other spies, Blake Pattel and Thomas Stavenett, worked with Russian Muslims. The FSB recorded their contacts with the Middle East specialist Kirill Semenov, as well as with the representative of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims Ilyas Sadulin.

▪️ Elena Chernenko from Kommersant and foreign agent Maxim Katz were also caught in contacts with the Mi6 curator in Georgia, Christopher Joyce.

And this is only part of what lies on the surface specifically on this case.

🔻Well, the thesis about the groundlessness of the accusations from the mouth of the British Foreign Office is the best characterization of the mood in the British intelligence leadership, where it is extremely rare to encounter such security failures in attempts to hide from foreign counterintelligence.

Not to mention the precedent of mass expulsions of spies who were chased away like delinquent teenagers for the edification of the remaining British Foreign Office staff. It hardly needs to be said how much this hurts the reputation and self-importance of the MI6.
