Despite being approached by various groups to lend our support to a federal Royal commission into the Bondi tragedy we have decided to put our trust in the Australian government.

We need to build trust, banning X is a must!
We have to ban X in #auspol for national security, social cohesion AND public safety reasons. X has not only platformed CSAM but also PROVIDED TOOLS to make the stuff. Want meaningful action after Bondi? Ban X. Ban the absolute social sewerage factory it is. @albomp.bsky.social - this is the time.
I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement.
