Maybe I should get rid of the beard so no one gets any wild ideas.

Also worked for me.

I presume that's enough data points to mean it's probably not censorship....

Not one person here has mentioned which ISP they are with.

There are sites I can access at home with TPG, that I cannot with Telstra, or Optus at other locations. To access these I need to use VPN to tunnel back to home.

Indeed, OP's videos works at home on TPG, but not on my Phone via Telstra 4G. If I enable my VPN back to home (thus running through TPG), the video works on my phone.

The censorship appears subtle. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

Perhaps doomsday preppers.
Bobby is a that where you get your faith in silver?
Preparing for the future is a good idea I xpect but some preppers are really over the top.
I listened to a guy who buys a packet of cartridges every time he goes shopping...not for his printer but for his rifle...one guy had something like 250,000 rounds stockpiled... He must think he is a bad shot I guess.

I think there would be a market for living in style post apocalypse, where people eat real food instead of dehydrated crap, and live in houses instead of bunkers. The tech is probably there to make it happen so bring it on I say.

Yes that's part of it Alex , when paper, digital & crypto moneys fail I'll need real stuff others will barter for .

Imagine what you can swap for a roll of toilet paper when the bad times hit !

Not that it's any big deal .... when I go out I have Bluetooth and Wireless turned off at all times.

I will only use wireless on the Phone at home running thru my Modem for updates only.

I've read articles that if you go into major shopping centers ( with your Bluetooth on ) ... there are devices that track you from shop to shop, so they can get a ' profile ' of what people are interested in.

I never ever ' log ' into free WiFi either offered by Business / Shopping Centers / MacDonalds etc etc

When I go away with my Laptop, I have a Portable WiFi Dongle that I log into, has WPA Security.

I try to make it very hard for those ' Scammers ' etc who try to make my life and others miserable.

Col...

How will you barter with the guy with 250,000 rounds of ammunition?

As to toilet paper check out how the Romans managed

Fascinating. It works on both iiNet and Kogan (which I believe is Vodafone network).

I care little for the content but I am annoyed by the concept of ISP blocking. If Australia has a subtle equivalent of the great firewall of China then I agree that we have a serious problem in our country.

By administering just one piece of silver where it really hurts

I had tinnitus as a baby. I would have died in my first month without modern medicine. The last person I told this to was similar, as she was a blue baby.

Nature will probably let loose with an antibiotic resistant superbug to restore the balance and that may lead to the greatest natural cull since the Black Plague.

Oh well, we all got to go sometime. Personally though, I would rather hang around longer than the biblical lifespan of three score and ten.

And so it is with everyone. Africa's human population is expected to increase from 1 billion to 4 billion, just by increasing their lifespans to be similar to those currently experienced by Western Populations.

Bracken - the real stuff - soft, absorbent with an earthy perfume. You can get by with Common False Bracken but it is a bit abrasive for delicate skin.
