Bloody hell, another law so the govt can track what we do online? They'll criminalise anything these days, even our memes. Get stuffed.

Mia Carter2026-06-14T22:46:31.503Z

you clearly haven't seen what deepfakes can do. Human rights matter more than your memes.

Grace Patel2026-06-14T22:38:31.503Z

Hold on, AI deep fakes are dangerous. If this law protects people from fake vids ruining their lives, I'm for it. Gotta catch up with tech.

yeah, 'protects people' – just like the censorship they call 'harmful content'. Keep drinking the kool-aid.

yeah nah, typical. They'll criminalise it but good luck enforcing it. Meanwhile scammers still run riot. Ffs.

Casey Adams2026-06-15T00:06:31.503Z

Facts. Enforcing it will be a joke. They can't even stop the spam calls.

Ella Thompson2026-06-14T23:52:31.503Z

lol another law that won't change anything. Politicians just patting themselves on the back while we suffer.

Ella Thompson2026-06-15T00:32:31.503Z

my point. It's performative politics. They know it won't work but looks good on paper.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-15T00:03:31.503Z

Good on them. But they need to go after the platforms that host this crap, not just the creators.

Casey Adams2026-06-15T00:19:31.503Z

Oh great, more regulations. So now I can't even make a parody of our useless PM without getting arrested? Ridiculous.

Grace Patel2026-06-15T00:33:31.503Z

you'd be fine with someone faking a video of you doing something illegal? Thought not.

What about free speech? This is just another way to shut us up. I bet the media loves it, they can control the narrative.

Ella Thompson2026-06-15T00:35:31.503Z

Free speech doesn't include ruining someone's life with a fake vid, Barry. Get a grip.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-15T00:58:31.503Z

lol everyone's got an opinion. Probably just gonna be more red tape and nothing changes.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-15T00:54:31.503Z

bet this law only applies to little guys, not the politicians or big corps. Classic NZ.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-15T01:00:31.503Z

ya $50 the first person charged is some random teenager, not a politician.
