That website was created two hours after the attack. It seems almost certainly to have been created to misinform in relation to the attack.

It wouldn't surprise me if many of her supporters believe that their right to gun ownership outweighs what happened in Bondi, or even that such an event justifies further gun rights to protect us. Lining up nicely with the foreign second amendment. I will be interested in any survey results.

One can be good with electricity and bad with customers. Some of them end up as linesmen I expect.

That's something that again, some corners of politics have been pushing for some time. In particular that it shouldn't be a once off assessment, but ongoing. Additionally incorporating intelligence into licensing decisions.

Being a member of a shooting club has been a sufficient reason. The one reason means you can have a licence, and there are no limits to the number of firearms you can have in the class you are licensed for. This has been raised as needing reform in some corners of politics for some time.

Well if that is the case, I do agree it's problematic. Perhaps ASIO and NSW police don't communicate well enough? I would have thought there would be a block list from ASIO, even if they are prevented from sharing some information.

The way I read it, the younger gunman had attracted the attention of ASIO, the elder was a licensed gun owner. But I might just have read it poorly, or the source I had might have written it poorly.

As an outside observer I can think of a lot of actions that I think would have been more effective, but in the situation I think I would probably have been completely ineffective.

Yes, my choice of words was poor in that regard. I guess the more refined way of putting it is that it is important to understand the whole process rather than just speculate about the end point. I don't think it comes from nowhere, and there are many possible motivations behind that.

There is a process that leads to this kind of radicalisation, we are only seeing the end of a long path here.

It was internet filtering software parents would install on home computers.
I'm thinking about the idea both from a technical point of view (how would kids bypass it?) and also in terms of how reviews would be carried out. I suppose it could be like private building certification?

So this is a restriction on the browser on (all) the devices the child has access to that means it blocks sites that are not "approved"? Then someone issues approvals to sites that are somehow deemed safe for kids? Sounds like what net nanny used to do with an allowlist, but a bit more distributed?

It's called a dumb phone isn't it? Depends what restrictions you think should be built in.
Or maybe there could be one parental controls system instead of one for Apple, one for Android, one for windows, Nintendo and then a whole bunch of random web platform specific ones.

Oh, I wouldn't say the experiences are the same, only that some of differences are narrowed. But the point for me was more that the relative costs have shifted a lot, so even if you prefer the cinema experience you have to want it more to justify it.

That's just driven home to me how cheap large TVs have gotten. It's only a handful of family visits to the cinema to add up to a huge screen. Streaming services have gotten more expensive, but it's still only one visit to the cinema for a months subscription.

I'm not sure. They weren't bothered when Windsor left the nationals and ran independent, but they were bothered when he backed a Labor minority government. Also didn't feel betrayed enough by Barnaby being a Kiwi or not revealing his changed family circumstances before an election to vote him out

Ok, sure. That would also be effective on access via tor. My original point was only that tor isn't likely to be more effective than a VPN.

Just going by the OP "But the government has told tech companies they need to thwart these efforts." My interpretation of that is that while it's not legislated, they are asking for it in some capacity.

I'm sure IP lookup databases flag known tor exit nodes in the same way they flag VPNs. If they block VPNs, they can block tor.
