Organisers from Australia Cyber Conference in Melbourne pressured a speaker to edit his speech on Australia’s anti-encryption legislation.
A partner with legal advice firm Ringrose Siganto, Ted Ringrose was told the original version of his speech was biased, stating the issues with a comparison between Australia’s encryption laws and China’s.
The organizers sent Ringrose an edited version, but he says he pushed back at the attempted censorship, and finally, he was allowed to present his talk as planned.
