Well we either accept this, get a movement going where we give the AI millions of deliberately false SMS to ingest, or start using a better messaging solution. Not WhatsApp or Signal.
Yep. And meanwhile the kids will be chatting/abusing in Google Docs. Or IRC servers they spin up for free in AWS or whatever. Or, shock, SMS.
offshore extremists use such platforms to communicate.
Yes, yes they do. But that is not justification for reading everyone's messages.
hopefully those bodies are treating such a questionnaire with the respect it deserves
It'll need a 1.5GB "drivers" download every week, a subscription to just keep running, forget all its network settings monthly, need an "app" to set it up, and if you don't play a game they like it'll just brick itself?
The problem was that some handsets (including ones sold by the networks as "4G") would drop to 3G for 000. Even same models on different firmware behaved differently. So the regulator said to ban any the networks weren't 100% sure were compatible. With 30(?) days' notice. And the online IMEI checker is incomplete/useless too. So now the only realistic place for average consumers to buy known-compatible handsets is from the network operators. At their prices, with their software.
It's not meant to benefit young people. If it was they wouldn't have now explicitly excluded gambling ads from the act. Kids won't be able to access the fixtures page of their hockey club on Facebook, but can have Bet365 ads rammed down their throats. This act is not about protecting kids. It's a push to easily, accurately tie everyone's online presence to their myID.
Are they somehow suggesting that if Fighty McStealy had been facially-profiled on entering the store that he wouldn't have done a meth rampage against old mate in a green apron?
I'm getting sick of having to explain to people that "i'Ve gOT noTHIng tO HiDE" is naive bullshit when this comes up
title of your sex tape
This guy had a good take on it all
The end result is that basically if you want to get a handset you know will work, the average consumer's only real choice is to buy from the network. At their prices. Funny how things work out.

And Telstra can't sell everyone's encrypted messages if we can collectively move on from SMS.
