Two Australian law enforcement bodies will soon have the power to modify, add, copy, or delete data, after the Bill allowing such activity was waved through the Senate on Wednesday morning
The Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identify and Disrupt) Bill 2020, now awaiting Royal Assent, hands the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) three new powers for dealing with online crime.
The first of the warrants is a data disruption one, touted as a way to prevent "continuation of criminal activity by participants, and be the safest and most expedient option where those participants are in unknown locations or acting under anonymous or false identities". This warrant gives the cops the ability to "disrupt data" by modifying, copying, adding, or deleting it.
Failure to comply could land an individual with 10 years of imprisonment.
The second is a network activity warrant that would allow the AFP and ACIC to collect intelligence from devices or networks that are used, or likely to be used, by those subject to the warrant.
The last warrant is an account takeover warrant that will allow the agencies to take control of an online account for the purposes of gathering information for an investigation
. . .
"What's worse, the data disruption and network activity warrant could be issued by a member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal -- really? It is outrageous that these warrants won't come from a judge of a superior court."

I love these new public safety measures.
Hopefully they keep me safer than ever.
At last we are dealing with those who have incorrect views.
Very soon we should be able to achieve the one correct view.
Everyone sharing the same correct view, how pleasant.
Because social stability means social responsibility.
Everyone is responsible for everyone else.
Everyone belongs to everyone else.
No more selfish individuals.
Correct behaviour must be enforced.
Or else the whole of society suffers greatly.
More suffering for more people.
People shouldn't be made to suffer for others mistakes.
Rights are a weapon of the individual against the organism.
O' great nation of Australia, cleanse our body of its impurities.
Mercy to those who stand corrected but none other.
Idoltry for fasces bundled atop our parliament house.
Strike down those that pollute our glory.
Evolve our body into ubermensch.
Dissolve the alignments of our society.
