- ‘It's impossible in the internet age to actually have a complete ban on communication.’ The Australian government's execution broadcast ban raises questions.
Darren Woolley from TrinityP3 argues that government control over media standards could overstep boundaries.
He highlights the challenge of controlling internet content, as governments lack total control over online platforms.
The risk is that government intervention might lead to broader censorship, impacting media freedom and public access to information.
Future debates may focus on balancing censorship with freedom, especially as technology evolves.
