‘Authoritarian’ governments teamed up with big tech to ‘pervert the course of democracy’ – Sky News Australia

Theres a little titbit that should put the fear of God into every sensible, right-thinking, everyday Victorian, says Sky News host Rowan Dean.

Your government, the most authoritarian and repugnant in Australia, the Andrews Labor government, has joined forces with leftist media tech giants Meta, Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft and the Chinese-run TikTok to pervert the course of democracy in your state in the run-up to the November election, Mr Dean said.

He said the Victorian Electoral Commission boasts of having partnered with big tech organisations in order to counter harmful electoral disinformation.

Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately commended the platforms for their public commitment to protecting election integrity.

No, Mr Gately, with all due respect, you are perverting democracy, not protecting it, Mr Dean said.

You are behaving as every petty authoritarian has done since time immemorial you are censoring what the plebs can and cannot read.
