Reddit User Uncovers Who Is Behind Meta’s $2B Lobbying for Invasive Age Verification Tech

Key takeaway points:

Meta funneled over $2 billion through shadowy nonprofits to push age verification laws that would force Apple and Google to build surveillance infrastructure into every device, while exempting Meta’s own platforms from the same requirements.

Meta’s lobbying operation spans 45 states using nonprofit shells to avoid transparency requirements, with funding traced through organizations like the Digital Childhood Alliance (DCA) as part of a $70 million fragmented super PAC strategy designed to evade FEC tracking.

Proposed age verification laws would embed persistent identity verification directly into operating systems, with Meta’s Horizon OS for Quest VR already implementing this infrastructure and lobbying efforts targeting Meta’s competitors while leaving Meta platforms untouched.

A Reddit researcher just exposed how Meta funneled over $2 billion through shadowy nonprofits to push age verification laws that would force Apple and Google to build surveillance infrastructure into every device—while conveniently exempting Meta’s own platforms from the same requirements.

Following the Money Trail Through Dark Networks

Meta’s lobbying operation spans 45 states using nonprofit shells to avoid transparency requirements.

The investigation by GitHub user “upper-up” traces funding through organizations like the Digital Childhood Alliance (DCA), which launched December 18, 2024, and testified for Utah’s SB-142 just days later. Bloomberg and Deseret News reported Meta’s backing of DCA, part of a $70 million fragmented super PAC strategy designed to evade FEC tracking. Traditional election spending disclosure requirements don’t apply to this fragmented approach.

What ‘Get Age Category API’ Really Means for Your Device

Proposed laws would embed persistent identity verification directly into operating systems.

The technical reality hits harder than policy abstractions. These bills mandate OS-level APIs that apps can query for age data—creating a permanent identity layer baked into your phone’s core functions. Meta’s Horizon OS for Quest VR already implements this infrastructure through Family Center controls. Now they want Apple and Google to build similar systems that every app can access, turning age verification into persistent device fingerprinting.

The Curious Case of Platform Exemptions

Age verification bills target Meta’s competitors while leaving Meta platforms untouched.

Here’s where the lobbying gets surgical. The proposed laws hammer Apple’s App Store and Google Play with compliance requirements but reportedly spare social media platforms—Meta’s core business. It’s like Spotify lobbying for streaming regulations that only apply to Apple Music. The “child safety” rhetoric masks a competitive strategy that shifts liability from platforms to operating system makers.

Europe Shows a Different Path Forward

EU’s eIDAS 2.0 offers privacy-preserving age verification with zero-knowledge proofs that protect personal data.

The European Union’s Digital Identity Wallet takes a radically different approach. Zero-knowledge proofs let you verify age without revealing personal data—like showing you’re over 18 without disclosing your birthdate or identity details. It’s open-source, self-hostable, and only applies to large platforms while exempting FOSS and small entities. Meanwhile, US lawmakers seem ready to let Meta bamboozle them into complete privacy annihilation.

Your device’s trustworthiness hangs in the balance. These laws could force every Linux distribution and privacy-focused Android fork to implement identity verification or face legal liability. The choice between surveillance-free computing and regulatory compliance is coming faster than you think.

Fuel & Other Shortages, a DELIBERATE 'failure of government'.

Australia has truly either absolute fuckwits or arseholes in charge of this colony.

In any event MANY should be removed from their positions, as they have failed the people.

Australia is one of the most resource rich land masses on the planet, yet it's wealth has been squandered by the morons in charge.

See a video of approx. a dozen minutes by TopherField:

"Australia - the 'Lucky Country'" run by total arseholes. 

or more eloquently put by David Horne as explained in the following post:

TIL calling Australia 'The Lucky Country' was actually intended as an insult, not a compliment.     

Police corruption rife: I Catch Killers podcast Deborah Locke reveals death threats after exposing NSW police corruption that changed everything

Unfortunately for the 'good people' of Australia, the colony's police forces are rife with corruption.

The police literally cannot be trusted in any 'alleged' criminal matter.

In court they lie, tamper with evidence, destroy evidence and even tamper with witnesses and/or produce false witnesses with full support of the Anglo-Masonic setup legal system.

After all, the brethren look after each other.

Miscarriage of justice occurs in every single courtroom across the land, to the detriment of society as a whole, where the victims of the justice business are deliberately left without a remedy. 

Keep in mind that the old-adage "the system is broken" is a false one, as the reality is that the system is functioning perfectly, the way it was designed to.

Corruption has increased over the years, but the authorities would have you believe there is less.

Here is one story that the public news media are allowed to inform the general population of, the one that the colony's original corrupt police force could no longer hide.

I Catch Killers podcast: 
Deborah Locke reveals death threats after exposing NSW police corruption that changed everything

She saw too much. Then they found $20,000 in her car. What happened next would spark Australia’s biggest police corruption inquiry.

When former detective Deborah Locke joined the NSW police force in 1984 as part of the last class to graduate from the Redfern Academy female officers were, in her words, “lower than a police dog.”

“They used to make us wear these big, baggy culottes – [pants that were like] big long skirts,” she recalls of the bizarre uniform choices made on behalf of police women in the eighties on this week’s episode of I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin.

“I remember once jumping a wooden fence chasing a bloke who was doing a break-and-enter, and I’ve jumped over the fence and my big baggy culottes have come over and hooked over the top of the wooden paling fence, and I’m hung up and I am just hanging on the fence, waiting for someone to come.”

 Yet little did Locke know that her outfit would end up being the least of her concerns during her time on the force.

The former officer turned whistleblower after witnessing first-hand the corruption that was rampant in the NSW police force during the eighties, a move that would leave her in fear for her life, a pariah in the force and the catalyst for the infamous Wood Royal Commission into police corruption.

‘They’re going to kill us’

The journey from ‘one of the boys’ to whistleblower unfolded over several years. After beginning her career in North Sydney, Locke eventually took a role within the Gaming Squad in the late eighties, at a time when she was heavily in the grips of alcoholism, something that made her male colleagues view her as a ‘drinking buddy’, on the many trips to bars and pubs the squad would partake in as part of its questionable methods.

Yet it was here that the extent of the corruption became apparent.

Cash bribes were commonplace between illegal gambling providers and police, and Locke regularly witnessed police tipping off providers before a raid in exchange for payment.

“Every time we did a raid they knew we were coming,” she tells Jubelin, “the cops, there were cops taking quids.”

“One time we went and [the illegal gaming crew] had a film crew and they’re videoing us. They had a big welcome sign waiting for us, they knew we were coming.”

But the point of no return came when $20,000 was discovered in the boot of Locke’s surveillance car. She’d been in Bathurst on a two-week study block, as part of a course she had enrolled in to advance her career, and when she returned she discovered the money had come from an illegal bookie who’d bribed members of her squad. Her boss, who was not involved in the corruption, had discovered the bribe, and had made the extraordinary decision to arrest the officers involved through the Highway Patrol.

“The next day, I rock into work and everyone’s just traumatised,” Locke, who was part of the small surveillance team now dubbed ‘dogs’, recalls. “Everyone’s rocking. And the next thing you know, people are drawing pictures. They’re going to kill us.”

“It was dangerous, we were all scared,” Locke continues. “And it was a horrible situation. It was just ridiculous. Even though I wasn’t even there or part of it, I was just tarred with the same brush – it was my car, and so I’m in on it.”

Locke was granted an overnight transfer to the Parramatta detectives unit, in order to be protected.

“By the time I got to Parramatta though, they already knew who I was, what had happened,” she says.

“And I was classified as a dog and a whistleblower.”

‘I’m going to go jail with these guys’

At Parramatta, Locke continued to witness corruption.

“If the gaming squad was like a circus, Parramatta was a whole different ball game,” she says, where detectives would have frequent contact with Roger Rogerson, a disgraced former cop who had already been dismissed from the force. Locke recalls Rogerson would “hold court” in Chinese restaurants, associating with major gangsters and being fawned over by police officers keen to win his favour.

It was Lenny MacPherson, one of Sydney’s most notorious gangsters in the eighties, that eventually triggered Locke’s whistleblowing. While drinking with senior officers and underworld figures at a Parramatta hotel, Locke was pulled aside and asked to perform a ‘favour’: obtain a gun license for MacPherson’s second wife.

The scheme was as bizarre as it was corrupt. Her superiors wanted her to go to Gladesville police station, present the application, and effectively pretend to be MacPherson’s wife.

 Despite being offered increasing amounts of money to comply, Locke refused the bribe.

However, in the process of handling the paperwork, she realised she was trapped. “I was hanging on to the piece of paper,” she says, “so the fingerprints are on it.”

Ultimately, it was a literal interpretation of the police code of conduct that led to Locke becoming an official whistleblower.

“It’s probably my autism,” she explains, “I’d read the policies and procedures and it said, if you saw corruption and you didn’t say anything or do anything, you would also be guilty of that offence. And the stuff I saw going down, I was worried. I took it literally. I thought: ‘I’m going to go to jail with these guys.’

Whistleblowing, death threats and a royal commission

When Locke first went to then soon-to-be commissioner Tony Lauer to report the corruption, she says she was met with “disgust”.

“He said, ‘you don’t know what a detective is, you’re a whistleblower’ and I’d never heard that term,” she says. “I got up my courage and I bravely said to him ‘what’s a whistleblower?’ He looked at me with disgust and said, ‘you know, that’s cops who are dobbing in cops’.”

 At Parramatta, the atmosphere turned lethal. Officers openly discussed her “disappearing,” and Locke lived in constant fear for her life.

“There was a copper that was going to speak out against the abortion squad in the seventies,” she says, “and he got shot sitting on the toilet. And I got told a few times that was gonna happen to me.”

The path to systemic change finally opened through independent MP John Hatton, a long-time crusader against the ‘boys’ club’. Locke became the only officer in the state with the backbone to sign statutory declarations alleging current corruption.

Her lone statutory declaration was enough for Hatton to set things in motion, and eventually the Wood Royal Commission into police corruption, which shattered the bubble of police impunity. It exposed a widespread culture of bribery, drug trafficking, and protecting criminals.

While many corrupt officers were granted amnesty to resign, the Commission’s findings fundamentally changed Australian policing by introducing rigorous accountability and oversight.

The downfall of Roger Rogerson and Glen McNamara

While Roger Rogerson had previously been acquitted of the attempted murder of whistleblower Michael Drury, he would eventually face justice in 2014, when he and Glen MacNamara – who had previously made a name for himself as a ‘clean’ cop – were convicted of the murder of Jamie Gao.

Locke – who had formerly posed with MacNamara at the launch of his own ‘anti-corruption’ book, was especially outraged by his involvement.

 “They said, look, he’s doing a book, come and support him … We’ve got a photo in the paper, you know, his arm around me,” she says.

Years later, Locke watched the downfall of the men who had once operated in the shadows. “I used to go down and watch them at court, and I’d wave, ‘hi Glen, hi Roger,’ and they’d just look at me. He had the gunpowder all over him and it was like a video in court,” Locke explains, describing how surveillance footage captured the pair drinking beers and stepping over Gao’s body.

“I just felt so good to see Roger in the dock, you know? He was glaring at me, like ‘that b***h!’”

MONOLOGUE: More than a crime, a blunder :

Australians to face age checks on porn sites from March

Another (deliberately) flawed implementation of control of 'what we think is right for you', buy the Nanny State of Australia:

New adult content rules will also apply to AI bots, app stores.

Warning: This story contains references to sexual content, self-harm, and disordered eating.

Australians will need to prove they are over the age of 18 when accessing pornographic websites from 9 March 2026, under new industry codes registered Tuesday by the eSafety Commissioner.

Services hosting online porn must provide “appropriate age assurance measures” when the codes take effect in six months’ time, or face potential civil penalties from the regulator in the millions of dollars.

Similar age assurance technologies will be used by platforms to prevent under-16s from accessing social media under the government’s forthcoming ban in December, and to check a user’s age when they are logged into a search engine from later that same month.

Stricter rules on accessing online pornography have been floated by governments for several years, but age assurance technologies were not previously considered accurate enough by lawmakers and regulators.

Such technologies can include age verification systems, which typically rely on government documents or ID; age estimation systems, which use biometrics; and age inference systems, which use online activity or account data to infer a person’s age.

The federal government commissioned a trial of such technologies in 2024, which found age assurance could be done effectively in Australia despite no solution being infallible and some systems raising privacy and data retention concerns.

The new industry codes required service providers to not use or share Australians’ personal information in a way which would breach privacy laws, eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said.

“In determining appropriate age assurance measures to take under any code, services are also required to consider if those measures are compliant with privacy laws and whether the impact on user privacy is proportionate to the safety objectives,” she added.

Any company covered by the new codes “must also take appropriate steps to test and monitor the effectiveness of its age assurance and access control measures over time", according to the new rules.

Age checks to access online porn have already been implemented for sites accessed in the United Kingdom, in some European Union nations, and in many jurisdictions in the United States.

Canadian pornography giant Aylo — which runs major sites such as Pornhub and YouPorn — introduced age assurance methods in the UK in July to comply with new online safety laws in that country, including “email-based age estimation, credit card age checks, mobile network operator age checks and open banking, and, as of August 5, Google Wallet”, according to the company.

However, some UK residents have used Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and facial recognition tricks to get around the new age checks.

eSafety goes after ‘lawful but awful’ material

The six new codes registered by Australia's eSafety Commissioner were co-developed with industry organisations and aimed to protect children from exposure to a range of “lawful but awful” content, including pornography, self-harm, and high-impact violence, Inman Grant said.

Development of the codes began in July 2024 and involved several industry groups: the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA), the Communications Alliance, the Consumer Electronic Suppliers Association, Digital Industry Group Inc. (DIGI), and the Interactive Games and Entertainment Association (IGEA).

Inman Grant said her office would be responsible for enforcing the codes “to protect children from accidental exposure to content they are not cognitively ready to process and certainly cannot ‘unsee’”.

“We know this is already happening to kids from our own research, with one in three young people telling us that their first encounter with pornography was before the age of 13,” she said.

“And this exposure was ‘frequent, accidental, unavoidable and unwelcome’, with many describing this exposure as being disturbing and ‘in your face’."

_{Age checks have already been implemented for pornographic sites accessed in the UK, some EU countries, and many US states. Image: Shutterstock}

DIGI, which counts the likes of Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, TikTok, and Twitch among its members, said the new codes were “a major milestone in creating a safer online environment for all Australians”.

"The registration of the codes shows what can be achieved when industry and government work together on safeguarding the community against online harms,” said Dr Jennifer Duxbury, DIGI’s director of policy, regulatory affairs, and research.

"It's vital the rules that apply to the online world keep pace with changes in the threat landscape.”

Australia's adult entertainment association Eros was contacted for comment.

AI chatbots, app stores told to protect kids

To prevent children from accessing adult content on other platforms, the new codes would also apply to AI chatbots, app stores, hardware manufacturers, social media services, and other designated internet services, Inman Grant said.

“Under these new codes, app stores will have to make sure that apps are appropriately rated and that there are appropriate age assurance measures before permitting users to download or purchase apps rated as 18+,” she said.

The commissioner said she was concerned by “a recent proliferation” of unregulated AI companion chatbots — some of which have allegedly engaged in sexually explicit conversations with minors, or encouraged self-harm or disordered eating.

“As with other forms of online pornography, there is a danger that excessive, sexualised engagement with AI companions could interfere with children’s social and emotional development, setting up misguided or harmful beliefs and patterns that are damaging to individuals or relationships in real life,” Inman Grant said.

“We’ve also seen recent reports of where AI chatbots have allegedly encouraged suicidal ideation and self-harm in conversations with kids with tragic consequences.”

US company OpenAI recently pledged to make further improvements to its ChatGPT service following the death of a teenager who discussed much of his life with the popular AI chatbot.

Age Verification At Operating System Level, i.e. Windows/Linux

WTF? The authorities are enacting a fascist/Nazi/totalitarian online world and it’s coming to your state or colony soon.

In California and Colorado, law is being put in place that if operating system manufacturers like Microsoft and the various organisations that distribute their own version of Linux want to do business there, they must have an age verification option prior to the user using the operating system, even if the PC is in a closed system, meaning not connected to the internet.

The action for age verification is so that the children (of the cannon fodder) are allegedly protected from harm when interacting with others on the internet, but the real reason is to officially catalogue every person on the internet to their real identity in order to censor ‘free speech’ and to  later punish them for whatever the governments see fit at a later time, e.g. for not liking the colour blue if the government see this as being ‘offensive’.

Operating systems do NOT cause harm to underage children, period, where if there is any allegation that they do, where is the 'white paper' on this topic?

This action just shows the sociopathic or retarded mentality of the lawmakers that are enacting these types of laws.

If there was truly an action to protect the children, then the victims the 'Epstein Files', would have their ('alleged') assailants brought before the courts and incarcerated.

What an absolute clown show!

This is just another farce enacted by the authorities to silence the masses, in order to control and force whatever narrative governments desire.

They ask us to complete ID Verification. 1 billion personal/ID information is leaked by IDMerit

This is huge news, that the time of this post, it's not covered by Australia's mainstream media.

For your benefit, realistically do not rely on Information Technology news by Australian 'news' outlets, but rather refer to trusted specific sources.

Approximately 12 million Australians are affected.

What Personal Data Was Leaked?

Because IDMerit is an AI-powered KYC (Know Your Customer, a government requirement fro U.S. telecomms) provider, the data it collects is incredibly sensitive. The unsecured 1-terabyte database didn't just leak passwords—it leaked the core personal identifiers used for your financial and digital life. The following structured data was left open for anyone to download:

• Full names

• Addresses

• Post codes

• Dates of birth

• National IDs

• Phone numbers

• Genders

• Email addresses

• Telco metadata

• Breach status and social profile annotations

The last data point – breach status and social profile annotations – could refer to a database identifier indicating whether the data originated from a data breach or a leaked database. However, at this point, the true meaning of the data point is unclear. The team noted that this specific data point was present only in some regions.

“At this scale, downstream risks include account takeovers, targeted phishing, credit fraud, SIM swaps, and long-tail privacy harms. Industry-wide, the case underlines how third-party identity vendors have become critical infrastructure and can become single points of catastrophic failure,” our team explained.

Secret Control Room In Victoria's Parliament House

MANY of the colony’s party officials that are in office are not elected democratically by the people, but rather decided in house which one of them would be a better corporate whore.

With regards to Victoria, it is truly irrelevant which premier puppet is on display whether it’s Labor’s Jacinta Allan, Daniel Andrews or the Liberals’ Denis Napthine or ‘Ted’ Ballieu, the most important room in the building is the one the politicians or staff aren’t allowed to talk about that is the ‘blue room’.

This masthead was informed under the condition of anonymity, that what is in store for Victoria over a period that exceeds the tenure of a premier is decided by ‘faceless men’, the men that truly run the nation and states.

Nothing gets done unless it's passed by members of the 'blue room', said the source.

It is what they decide that happens not only within the state but what is coordinated by their brethren in similar positions in other states is what will be executed over the years that follow.

Whether it’s new law they have waiting, for a particular trigger moment to occur that will oppress the people to town planning or infrastructure projects and who will benefit from the falsified tenders to immigration arrivals, even though they are a federal task, they still are discussed at state level.

The 'housing crisis' is a deliberate political move to cause turmoil and financial harm for the good people of Australia that will have a generational effect.

The people are truly conned if they believe that they have voted for a person that will serve them.

These politicians only take actions that are of benefit to them, where one of the goals is to fleece from the public purse as much as possible, where even if whatever is classified as ‘too much’ will not incur any consequences.

Australia’s governments are some of the most corrupt in the world, where currently Victoria’s ‘Big Build’ is just one example of this government supported fraud.

Privacy and Security Warning: myki system bank card upgrade

Australia’s governments are all about creating more customers.

Creating more 'consumers' and importing more useless eaters, where that subject is beyond the scope of this article.

What could go 'wrong', right?

Well, banks and financial institutions do factually commit offences and breach various Australian law, but they’re allowed to get away with it as seen within the Royal Commission, which at the end of the day was a ‘money for mates’ farce at the expense of the Australian Taxpayers.

Another action banks do, is aggregate your information, package it up, and sell it many times over.

If you ‘tap on’ and ‘tap off’ with your bank issued credit or debit card, then the bank will know your movements, package up this data and again, sell it many times over.

If you truly value your privacy, and therefore security you will not use your card or even phone with its virtual card for myki related travel.

In any event, that will just be another database which hackers will be able to eventually access and use it for whatever purpose they see fit.

The question is not ‘if’ but rather ‘when’ will your data get hacked?

How to determine Australian currency is real

Middle Eastern criminal syndicates from Melbourne and Sydney have been involved in the production of counterfeit currency for quite some time, and it seems that there is no stopping them.

Unfortunately the authorities are not doing enough, where the good people are ultimately victims of this highly organised criminal venture.

The new generation of Australian notes shown in the illustration below show that under UV (Ultra Violet) light features birds and flora which currently cannot be replicated in counterfeit currency.

Also, the other side of the notes shows their year of production under UV light as shown in the photo below.

Facebook wants your biometrics, DON’T give it to them!

The reality is that Meta cannot be trusted with your private and confidential information and now especially with your bio-metrics.

On occasions. Zuckerberg has provided false information to [US] Congress, with ZERO consequences.

Why?

Is it because he’s in bed with the Five Eyes ‘Anglo-sphere’ surveillance network?

He has provided false information about your data, also abusing it, therefore he can no longer be trusted with it, yet too many people turn a blind eye to this.

He wants/needs you to take a selfie or video, yet he himself covers up his own laptop camera.

Mark Zuckerberg caught out with tape over his laptop

Your selfie picture or short video will feed his A.I. platform and your ‘likeness’ will go to places where you’re not told about, as usual.

And on whichever database your data goes to, that database may get hacked given enough resources.

Just say you haven't got a laptop, where you only use a Personal Computer with no camera, for privacy & security purposes, where Zuckerberg is discriminating against you, as this is the only method he is accepting, meaning there is no alternative.

Do you STILL want to participate in a discriminatory platform?

In short, we do not recommend giving your bio-metric data to any platform, especially Meta which is run by a ‘dishonourable’ person, to put it very nicely. 

Victoria Police search powers unlawful! Corrupt police & government MUST be prosecuted!

Briefly,

In their respective states and territories, Australians no longer live in a democracy but rather a corrupt police state that is unlawfully enabled by parliament.

The colony called Australia is a Human Rights abuser both abroad and domestically, where this was more evident from 2020 onwards, BUT this is rarely called out by the corrupt Anglo-Masonic legal system.

This instance, the Melbourne CBD ‘random’ search powers is not an isolated case of terrorism against the general population but rather deliberate systemic abuse of the general population.

The corrupt judicature deliberately hides too many cases of abuse by police, by either concealing the case files, ‘enticing’ persons to sign NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements), otherwise compensation will not be given or just plain and simply the registrars or the ‘gatekeepers’  not allowing matters to be brought before the courts against police.

Over the past decade successful claims have doubled against Victoria Police, by those who have chosen to sue VicPol, and did not decide to delegate their abuse into the ‘too hard basket’, meaning that corruption by VicPol is rife and they cannot be trusted.

Victoria Police have been given just as many powers as the Gestapo in 1930s Germany and how well did that go for the people?

People’s rights are being diminished and destroyed by a corrupt government and it’s only going to get worse, for the plebs.

The authorities deliberately create an environment that allegedly requires “reasonably necessary” action that is analogous to Nazi occupied Germany.

Within the Federal Court of Australia, in the matter of Browne v Assistant Commissioner of Police, North West Region [2026] FCA15, on the date of judgement of 23rd of January 2026, the Court struck down the six month police search powers.

In the judgment, the Court made it clear that the powers were unlawful and incompatible with fundamental rights, including the rights to privacy, freedom of movement, and peaceful assembly.

These are NOT just minor oversights, they are core protections that underpin a functioning democracy.

The lawmakers that enabled this including the Premier of Victoria, must be brought before the courts for charges against human rights, and realistically removed from their positions.

Keep in mind that you are not lawfully bound to answer any questions in initial interactions with  police.

In whichever predicament you many find yourself in, many questions from an officer may seem to be benign, BUT their main objective is for you to incriminate yourself, therefore as mentioned by Ray Shoesmith in ‘Mr. Inbeteen’, “I do not answer questions”.

Victoria Police: A corrupt vexatious litigant.

Irrespective of which state or territory one lives in, the colony’s police forces are corrupt, period.

Australians live under a police state, a totalitarian government, a fascist state, however else one would like to describe it.

What’s worse is that the Anglo-Masonic judiciary is supportive of their actions, actions that cause harm to the community.

Their corruption is wide and varies where it’s not limited to; false accusations and tampering with evidence in courts, illegal, unlawful and criminal actions.

In court even when evidence proves that the police have deliberately misled the court, or falsified evidence the judges/magistrates take zero action.

Basically the police terrorise the good people with impunity.

Any action from alleged road offences, to other criminal actions such as alleged drugs possession or assault or even alleged domestic violence, Victoria Police has a hand in it committing illegal, unlawful or even criminal actions against the accused.

Victoria Police take many accused to court with zero legal/lawful right to do so, making their actions vexatious, but the courts support their charade as it 'feeds' the system.

The allegation that IBAC (Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission) is ‘independent’ is a laughable farce, at the expense of the Victorian tax-payer.

It’s also quite ironic that ‘Ibac’ is an American comic book super-villain empowered by Lucifer, or is the acronym deliberate by design?

From 2020 onwards Victoria Police have been acting illegally and unlawfully, a statement that is not a personal opinion, but rather a legal opinion coming from the Victorian courts therefore Victoria Police as an organisation that cannot ever be trusted at all.

There are many case files that expose the criminality of Victoria Police, some on public record but many deliberately hidden from the general population, even though it is in the interest of the public to know the criminality of Victoria Police.

Some organisations do not operate with half of the criminality of Victoria Police and they are ‘outlawed’.

The newly exposed random search designation of Melbourne’s CBD being unlawful is just another example of a corrupt police state in action. 

Keep in mind, that the system is not ‘broken’, but rather it’s functioning perfectly, the way it is intended to.

Google’s false information about 'protecting' its community.

Corporations lie to their stakeholders, users and the general population every single day.

Google has recently been lying on a global scale and there is zero repercussions.

There are a few ways into interact on the internet which can be summed up as either an active user or a passive one.

Let’s start with the passive example first.

A person can be the recipient of a TikTok/Instagram/YouTube link where it can be opened up in a web browser such as Brave/FireFox/Chromium without that person having to log in that corporation’s platform.

At that point in time that person cannot interact with the poster or community by writing a comment or even give a thumbs up to whatever was shown, where that person is also known as a ‘lurker’.

Since no interaction can be made, that person cannot allegedly be a danger to the community, as the community is not aware that the person even exists.

Now, if a person is logged in to TikTok/Facebook/YouTube then that person can post content that may not be safe for work, or even exercising one’s right to (alleged) ‘free speech’ by criticising a government’s new agenda or the passing of an unlawfully enacted law.

Those comments may then have to be moderated in order to allegedly ‘protect’ that online community.

So now Google (via Youtube) claims that when you are lurking on their platform, you could be a bot, implying that you could hurt the community, and when you log in “this helps protect our community”.

Quite simply put, no it does not! That is a blatant lie.

When will people wake up to the lies and deception by corporations.

It’s NOT about protecting their ‘community’ but rather surveillance capitalism, keeping in mind that Google is one of the world’s largest advertising data harvesting corporations, where they need to you log in to their platform so that they can sell you (the product) to others.

Who is "our community"? The people working for Google or the people using their platforms?

In the same vein as the above question, see link:

Surveillance Capitalism: How ICE uses phone and internet data to identify and track people

ICE recently purchased two programs called Tangles and Webloc, which are used to track the cell phone activity of entire neighborhoods and monitor people over social media and through internet data, according to reporting by 404 Media. 404 Media journalist Joseph Cox joined MPR News host Nina Moini with insight on those tools and how they’re used to track people.

The following has been edited for length and clarity. Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation. 

People are curious about how much surveillance is going on in society in general these days — and that includes ICE. Let’s start with one of the tools ICE is using: Tangles.

Tangles is a social media monitoring tool. We've seen that before, where companies will scrape sites like Twitter or Bluesky and then make that information much more accessible to the authorities.

What's different here is that Tangles is in combination with the tool call Webloc, the other tool we'll speak about in a minute. But it sort of gives an all-in-one solution for following people online. When it comes to their social media activity, ICE officials can add them to a watch list so they will be alerted whenever this person posts.

They are able to use AI to build some sort of sentiment analysis about what they're posting as well. The idea is that whenever somebody posts something online that ICE is interested in, the officials are going to see it.

How does the program obtain the location data from the phones in the first place? For example, what if you're a person who turns your location off?

 If you turn your location off, that is actually probably a very, very good thing to do if you are trying to get around this sort of surveillance. It does not get the data from the telecoms. It doesn't get it from AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, that sort of thing. It actually gets it, weirdly, through the online advertising ecosystem.

So whenever that little advert loads in your app, in Candy Crush or whatever, you'll see an advert there in the background. There's all of this tech going on where different companies are trying to get that advertisement in front of you.

There are also spy companies essentially harvesting that data, including phone location data. They then sell access to that to the government. It's basically a side product of the advertising ecosystem we see every day. But of course, somebody who is browsing the internet or just using an app has no idea that this is happening in the background.

What about this other program that ICE is using, Webloc? How does it work?

Webloc obtains information likely that same way — the location data — and it allows a user, in this case ICE, to search a map-style interface for phones and, by extension, people they might be interested in.

You log into the interface, you draw a circle or rectangle around a place of interest, maybe an ICE facility, maybe somewhere where a protest is happening. It then shows all of the location data and phones it has for that location, and the user is able to then track the phones to other places. So maybe this phone went over here and it stayed here overnight. Well, that's probably where the person slept. That is probably where the person lives. You track the phone to another location during the day after a protest. Well, maybe that's where this person works. So it allows users of this program to figure out probably who these people are and where else they're going after the fact.

And of course, that could be useful for ICE in many different contexts. The Wall Street Journal years ago, reported ICE was already using this sort of location data to catch immigrants and Customs and Border Protection was using it to monitor the U.S.-Mexico border as well.

 What do you know about how these tools are being used so far here in Minnesota?

That is, unfortunately, the one thing we really don't know. And of course, I would love to have more information on that. All we know is that this tool was bought for millions of dollars. I obtained the information about how it works, but we don't know what exactly they're using it for.

Now, what I would do again is point to that earlier Wall Street Journal reporting where this has been used to catch people that ICE wishes to catch, and it has been used by other parts of DHS to monitor the border. The only thing I would add on there is that, at least in marketing material, the company behind this technology has sort of floated the idea of using it to monitor Black Lives Matter protests as well. So First Amendment protected activity has come up explicitly in the marketing material for this technology.

How have you found that these types of tools are typically used? Is it about mass deportation efforts or is it about tracking protesters?

What I would say is that from everything I've learned, from looking at material from this company others and speaking to government officials as well, these sorts of tools for ICE and other agencies are really good for looking at movements of people or groups of people.

It can actually be quite difficult for ICE to focus on a particular phone and, by extension, the person. They almost have to be lucky that the target is included in that particular data set. But if you see a big group of phones moving to a certain location or away from it, that is probably how this technology is best going to be used.

A U.S. government official told me this data is definitely not as useful as the stuff you would get from AT&T, but that would require a warrant, whereas this data, crucially, they don't need a warrant to use it because they're simply buying it from a government contractor.

What can people concerned about being tracked do about this? Do they have any legal protection? How can people better control whether they're being tracked?

Yeah, you're right about the legal protection. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much around this sort of data at all. On a more technical level, it is simply being more aware of the things you're installing on your phone. Maybe you downloaded a flashlight app and it's requesting location data. Well, does it really need that permission that's requested on my phone? Maybe you can deny that, maybe you can delete that app.

And of course, getting some sort of ad blocker potentially could help. But as I said earlier, I think turning off location services is probably the more solid and robust way to combat this, if you wish to do so.

But no, there isn't really a legal protection. It's more a technical protection that you have to do yourself as an individual phone user.

Corrupt Victorian government’s unlawful cash grab

The colony’s governments, both state and federal are highly corrupt, where this corruption is masked by their brethren in the judiciary.

 

They act with impunity and in many instances, their alleged (debt) collection is unlawful.

Information from a source has been obtained, on the condition of anonymity, that the government of Victoria has embarked on an unlawful, (alleged) debt collection campaign against their unsuspecting victims, that being the ‘public’ in order to recoup the over $6 billion deficit the people in government have created.

Various ‘revenue raising’ businesses, like Victoria police, Fines Victoria, Sheriff’s Office Victoria, State Revenue Office et al are all unlawfully trying to extort funds from the general population.

The people within the judicature are also in on this multi-billion dollar fraud, as they enable it.

The context of the word ‘unlawful’ is the be understood as, that there is no lawfully enacted instrument that allows action against the person named.

This is particularly true when it comes to warrants for Victoria Police or the so called ‘Sheriff’s Office Victoria’.

Will there be a court matter that the general population will be made aware of by the mainstream media’s ‘court reporters’?

Most definitely not, as this goes against the narrative by the ‘faceless men’.

The plebs MUST be kept in the dark, period.

It’s all a “bread and circuses” clown show.

The Plan is to Make the Internet Worse. Forever!

Enshittification*.

Google along with others are changing the internet for the worse for the general population.

“Everything becomes a printer” is the most accurate summary of the last decade: 

subscriptions + anti-repair as the new business model.

You will own nothing, and not be happy?

The world is designed for the benefit of corporations and not the 'consumers'.

Australia to use phone monitoring tool like ICE in the US?

Australians are no longer in a democracy but rather under a socialist state.

In many instances you don't have a 'right' to 'free speech', but rather you have to ask for permission to protest.

Image: U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement

Briefly,

404 Media has obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) recently purchased, work. 

Webloc can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer.

A social media and phone surveillance system ICE bought access to is designed to monitor a city neighbourhood or block for mobile phones, track the movements of those devices and their owners over time, and follow them from their places of work to home or other locations, according to material that describes how the system works obtained by 404 Media. 

Commercial location data, in this case acquired from hundreds of millions of phones via a company called Penlink, can be queried without a warrant, according to an internal ICE legal analysis shared with 404 Media. 

The purchase comes squarely during ICE’s mass deportation effort and continued crackdown on protected speech, alarming civil liberties experts and raising questions on what exactly ICE will use the surveillance system for. 

This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.

At the end of the day the surveillance on the general population is going to get worse and worse with ZERO oversight.

What's worse, is the people are accepting this.

Royal Commission into ‘antisemitism’ another deliberately misguided farce?

Historically, royal commissions in this colony are a compromised ‘money for mates’ rort of taxpayer funds.

The corruption of the colony's Anglo-Masonic legal system goes above the comprehension of the ‘average Joe’, exactly the way the system wants it to be.

Edward I

The previous royal commission into the banking and financial services institutions was a deliberately useless farce, where approx 10,000 signatories to it never obtained a remedy.

The Wood Royal Commission on paedophilia, totally useless to the victims of paedophiles in positions of power.

Will the (alleged) ‘royal commission into antisemitism’ ask the fundamental question of why is there a perception/sentiment of antisemitism or is it really anti-Zionism?

Protests in Melbourne

The so called commission will not entertain why is Australia importing Islamic fundamentalists that later carry out heinous actions or incite hate or violence, because it's acceptable if it's against Buddhist, Hindus or Christians?

See article from 2014: 

Adelaide-based Sheikh Sharif Hussein free to preach race hate

The so called commission will not entertain the fact that the Sajid Akram was a 'Person of Interest' and should have not been given the right to reside in Australia, where others have been denied entry of exercising their ‘free speech’ right in this colony.

The so called commission will not entertain the fact that Sajid Akram should have not been given a gun licence by the 'authorities'.

Will the commission obtain evidence that in the 1200’s the Jews were plunging the English population into poverty through a practice called usury, that being making loans that are seen as unfairly enriching the lender?

Will the commission obtain evidence that condemning taking advantage of others' misfortunes, was brought in under a law in 1275 called ‘Statute of the Jewry’ by Edward I of England?

Usury is still practised today and will be well into the future.

Will the so called royal commission look into the history why the Jews were kicked out of Egypt or Spain?

Will the so called royal commission look into the actions of modern day Israel against other nations and the correlation against Zionism?

Keeping in mind that the matter of antisemitism vs anti-Zionism has already been before the Federal Court of Australia in 2025, under Wertheim v Haddad. Where the following was stated:

Will the so called commission do a deep dive into Zionism?

So, the royal commission will be into 'antisemitism' and not into the 'Bondi Beach Massacre', where the people will be blamed for (alleged) antisemitism, but an inquiry into the Bondi Beach massacre will pin the blame on the authorities at a fair few levels.

Briefly:

Quite simply put, the Bondi Beach shooting on 14th of December 2025 could have been avoided, where the federal government is negligent in its actions, or inaction.

Over the last few decades the Australian government, has been importing all sorts of trash from all over the planet into this colony, meaning other nations low quality, low value humans, under whatever label.

MANY of these humans do not contribute to society in a positive manner, but rather leech from it, or have the only intention to commit crime for a living.

Sajid Akram, pictured above, should have never been let into the colony, nor should he have ever been given a gun licence, where this is the so called ‘failure of government’.

The Australian government, over the years, has had many different policies in place with regards to importing corporate fodder into Australia.

The racists in government implemented the ‘White Australia policy’ from the beginning of federation until the 1970s.

The policy now is to flood Australia with low quality immigrants, turning a blind eye to their criminal history from their place of origin.

What is worse, for the greater good od society,  is that it’s quite clear that the courts ‘support’ these criminals, letting them back out on the streets, as the system requires repeat offenders in order for it to prosper.

There are other aspects to the actions of the father Sajid Akram and son Naveed Akram combo, which are outside the scope of this article.
