 A nutjob stabbed 19 people and killed 6 at a big shopping mall in Sydney. He was shot dead by police - his body was shown online as was some footage of him.

Then a few days later Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was stabbed by a teenager whilst his service was being live-streamed - that ended up in a riot.

That’s ostensibly the excuse they’re using but the truth is they don’t control what content people consume any more. No one is watching TV news and radio is dead, so Gov can’t control people with narratives any more and it’s scaring the shit out of them.
