As ever, the letter-writers bring the wisdom.
We have a crisis of leadership at so many levels, and you only need to look at theocratic and repressive states to see that harsh, arbitrary rules and punishment do not make a society safe or harmonious.

If Greens support this fascistic bill and enshrine Zionist capture, it will destroy them. Your voters will see sellouts and cowards caving on our liberties because you're not up for the fight. Because you're scared of getting yelled at in the newspapers. @davidshoebridge.bsky.social

No sign Australian politicians will leave X after the Grok scandal. Hard to see what if anything could make people who are still posting on there now leave. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Australian politicians are condemning X and Grok, so why won’t they leave the platform?

Shocking/Ignored: If the victim was a Rabbi this would have been front page news in every MSM outlet, there would have been Press Conferences/condemnation/outrage from PM & Opposition leaders etc. Unsurprisingly there's #crickets instead.

If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that?

She made the call to withdrawal. Absolutely huge. The headline of the festival.

This decision has destroyed the reputation of the Adelaide Writers Week, and sadly I doubt it will recover.

After successfully campaigning for a Royal Commission into antisemitism, The Age seamlessly moves to making that synonymous with criticism of Israel. Watching it happen so transparently is next level.

Zionism needs to be completely rooted out of Australian society.

It fosters hate and seeks to undermine Australian domestic politics by forcing the will of the Israeli govt on our society.

What in the name of holy fuck is this article? It’s a computer program; it does NOTHING without human input. ABC News needs to get its head in gear; this is human-engineered & enabled child sexual abuse.

Reminds me of articles about "officer-involved shootings" that seem to suggest that the gun happened to go off, or articles describing a cyclist that was "struck by a vehicle" rather than, say, an intoxicated driver hitting a cyclist.

Using active language and identifying who was involved matters.
This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc)

Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

Yes close loop holes in gun laws and make them federal, but also make getting a gun license as onerous as getting a drivers license. L plates, P plates, multiple levels over 2 years, written exams and a gun safety test.

Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.
