On April 1, my WeChat Official Account was banned until April 16.

The ban notice cited a specific article: "As a Chinese citizen, I formally reported Alipay to the CAC."

That article was deleted from the platform on March 20 — 12 days before the ban.

Ant Group's law firm filed a complaint to have it removed. WeChat's own moderation formally rejected that complaint. Then deleted the articles anyway. Then banned the account for content that no longer existed.

The next day, April 2, three Chinese ministries (CAC + MIIT + MPS) announced an enforcement campaign targeting App/SDK data collection — the exact practices documented in the research they tried to suppress.

Timeline:
Mar 6 — Ant Group: "cannot be practically exploited"
Mar 15-25 — 9 articles deleted from WeChat
Mar 25 — CAC Data Bureau: "organizing a verification"
Apr 1 — Account banned for already-deleted content
Apr 2 — Three-ministry enforcement campaign announced

Australia

We need a Minister for Peace, though the government does not see peace as a priority. We need to work out a way for corrupt politicians to benefit from having a strategy for peace.

Australia

It is very concerning that the Australian government supports the insanity of attacking Iran civilians and their vital infrastructure. What happens if either Israel or the US get so manic that they use nuclear bombs. The language being used by the US President is evidence something has gone horribly wrong. The Australian PM refuses to provide leadership, and now we need to know why?

This is one of the better free speech developments we've seen in a while.

The Home Office says non-crime hate incidents are being scrapped, lawful free speech should not be recorded, and police should stop being dragged into everyday online rows and focus on actual crime instead.

That does not mean every harmful Act is suddenly protected. The stated aim is to stop policing lawful speech while still responding where there is genuine harm, safeguarding risk, or serious community tension.

That is a meaningful shift, at least on paper. Now we need to see whether police forces actually apply it consistently in the real world.

Do you think this will meaningfully protect lawful speech, or will the culture stay the same?

Australia

The government should be working hard to improve the lives of Australian people. Instead they are cruising along, reading prepared scripts of lies; doing nothing that is needed. Politicians don't seem to be aware of how conceited and shamefully they present themselves.
