Australia’s Prime Minister called his new online censorship bill “change from the bottom-up, my Government listening and acting.”

The campaign group standing beside him at the launch had lobbied his office for it in a private letter. That same group gets 89 percent of its funding from his government. Its revenue jumped 975 percent in a single year, and Canberra has since handed it another $4.4 million.

The bill lets the eSafety commissioner run fake accounts, order content removed, and fine platforms up to A$109.2 million.

The government paid for the public demand and then answered the call.
