It seems that Australian advertising standards are either
not followed or they have hit rock bottom.
Sure we can go and fish out the relevant legislation, but it
really does not matter how rigged it is for corporations to profit from the
slaves in the (penal) colony we call Australia.
The Rupert Murdoch site is becoming a dumping ground for
click bait or rather false information that is 'promoted' by the media mogul.
A screen capture below shows content that states:
"New WiFi Booster Has Internet Providers
Running Scared in Australia".
When we asked an ISP (Internet Service Provider) whether or not a Wi-Fi signal boosting product
has them worried, we were met with a response of laughter and confusion.
A Wi-Fi booster, amplifies the signals from your internet connected
Wi-Fi modem/router, which may allow an otherwise weak signal to penetrate the
furthest rooms in a two storey residence or allows you to browse the internet
from your device from further points outside of your residence, like the
neighbour's swimming pool.
At no point does this device have the ISP "running
scared".
Upon a refresh of a page within the news.com.au site, the
corporate slave/data provider/user is greeted with another new false headline
generated message promoted by Rupert Murdoch.
This time the claim is that the new Wi-Fi booster
"Stops Expensive Internet in Australia", as seen within the screen capture below:
News Flash: The ONLY way to "stop expensive internet in
Australia" is to disconnect from it and find a better deal yourself,
something your Wi-Fi 'booster' is incapable of doing, well today anyway.
You never know, in the future your internet connected
scissors may tell you that they're feeling homicidal and need to slice some
paper up.
But then some retarded group of humans might get together
and claim that paper has feelings too you know, where by that stage Victoria
Police will have the authority to incarcerate you for breathing too much oxygen
for that particular minute, as reported by your mobile phone to them, but
that's a digression.
In the good ol' days promoted or sponsored content had a
label affixed to the illustration that clearly marked it as "promoted",
whereas now this can be quite easily overlooked by the serf.
Kudos to you Mr. Rupert Murdoch in your offshore tax havens
for your deception.
So what's ACMA going to do about it?
Probably diddly squat as usual
