Oh, an “internet rights group”? Hey, I like internet rights!
“Digital Freedom Project”? Hey, I like digital freedom!
Let me learn more about them!
I go to their website.
Ooh, lots of scary words, analogies & imagery about the big, bad ban: chains! locks!!!
But I still don’t know who these awesome freedom fighters actually are.
So I go to their About page.
Which informs that they are… “a group of Australians”. That’s it. Not one single name of a person, group or institution. Hundreds of words about how this ban (AND NOTHING ELSE ON THE INTERWEBS EVER) is bad, and how they are fighting the ban, and how you can even help pay them to fight the ban. But just four words about them: “a group of Australians”.
Not even stock photos or AI slop images, not even autogenerated-looking generic names expressing support for the righteous cause. Not even one name to contact. Nothing.
There is an ABN (Australian Business Number) in a tiny font at the bottom of their. Looking it up, I get this:
https://abr.business.gov.au/ABN/View?id=27500105086
Still no names. No directors, no staff, no contributors. Not eligible for tax-deductible gifts. And active since 20 October 2025. 5 weeks old.
Well, the oh-so-grassroots group behind this suit didn’t even exist until 5 weeks ago…
