God this is so true. I am so ashamed of our so-called representatives.

Please, Apple, do what you know is right and disable all iPhones in Australia. Google, please do the same with Android.

If you have a website, geoblock Australia from it.

Quarantine us from the world. We are sick and will infect you all.

I really hope Apple does this. Half the politicians seem to use iPads for all their computing needs.

[Chazprime]

I can’t see Apple allowing the Australian government to dictate how they handle security... it’d destroy all confidence in their brand.

They didn't let the pain-in-the-ass FBI go through their shit so hopefully they tell Australia to pound sand too.

Just did.. won't even respond to icmp. My Tokyo and UK sites.

[brokenmachine]

Thanks.

Actually, if it's possible, you could redirect to a page saying the reason you are blocking, that would be even better.

Seriously the world should quarantine us.

[magduf]

This isn't going to help. It'd be better to refuse to do business with Australia, but be sure to show them just what they're missing out on.

[chris_wot]

No, don't geoblock us. Just refuse to do actual business in Australia. Only allow us to download apps from the U.S. where such broken legislation is not in effect.

Don't think it will help since the agencies can force telcos to mitm the store fronts.

[brokenmachine]

Even this draconian bill I don't think has the power to make telcos mitm sites hosted overseas, does it?

But who knows, this bill seems to be the Christmas gift that keeps on giving! Merry Totalitarian Christmas, everyone!!

[daemin]

Setting up a MITM would just be a small request from a low level technical employee. Just make packets from this IP go to this other IP for this one account.

[brokenmachine]

But if that foreign site is using https then the telco couldn't know which account is logging in.

How do the App Store and play store react to bad HTTPS? Do they allow the user to trust?
