Shitter gave them the authority when they signed an agreement saying they would do the very thing you're upset Australia is asking them to do

Either they never should have signed, should announce publically that they no longer support and no longer wish to be a signatory to the statement, or should abide.

They can't sign things saying they will do everything to help remove these videos globally, and then get upset the first time someone asks them to. It doesn't matter if it's Australia or another party to the agreement, they agreed to it.

So if shitter didn't think it was appropriate, why did they ever sign saying they agreed to it?

This was a terrorist act, it's violent videos, no self respecting platform would want that content on there anyway, and why is it that shitter is the only platform that has a problem with this one?

The other platforms all took it down without even needing to be asked

Yes Australia doesn't have a great history when it comes to censorship, but musk is a deplorable human for fighting this one and it's a strange hill to die on

Yes but you seem to be mixing up 2 parts of their statements ... The one you linked is paywalled so I'm not sure if it's what's saying it, but if you look at their original statement, the scale back and the 2.4km were two seperate parts

They expect 2.4km to be completed by 2030

They scaled back the total excepted population from 1.5m to 300k

That means the total excepted length should still be much longer than 2.4km because I believe it's still expected to connect to the airport which is over 10km from the current stage

It was always planned to be built in small stages.... Why would anyone think they would start a 105 mile project all at once?? That's insane

This is like looking at a 50 story building after just the first few floors are built and saying "well is fallen short by 47 floors, guess it's a big flop"

Not so secret.

It's mostly the emus that you need to watch out for... Just ask our army

I haven't done the WA one but I've done Adelaide to Darwin which was a very barron but beautiful drive, would love to do the WA trip one day

Ok but western Australia has everybody here beat

Well let's face it .. if it wasn't for the sanctions, these companies would probably still be in business there because they have zero morals... So yeah once the dust settles they'll waste no time in trying to get back in there

The same oil refineries which they have sanctions on so people won't buy from? Those ones?

The difference is that there were concerns Huawei would share the data with the Chinese government for them to spy on various groups/individuals

Most countries like America have no problem with you selling the data to other companies or governments (the US Gov themselves buy huge amounts of data) to spy on you, just not to the Chinese government.

So if the data stays with Toyota (or the people they sell it to), they aren't likely to upset the governments... But if the data is directly shared with Huawei, it's likely to run into some pretty quick walls
