A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Fuck Musk, take the direct path around the problem: once and for all declare internet providers as utilities and prevent this kind of discretionary enforcement.

You run an ISP? Then you don't get to zero-rate or prefer certain traffic. You give what they pay for.

And the orbits your satellites use? Those are fucking limited. They are not a gift, they are not free. They are not yours to control because you were "FIRST!". Those are a public as this service should be.
