@DoubleSupercool7 күн бұрын
@@Alaster- Warranties are handled different to misrepresentation/misleading conducting under the Australia Consumer Law. The ACL essentially gives private contracts extra legal coverage and the way you sort out that is usually through small claims. That is, it's a private contractual matter that you have extra rights to deal with. Straight up misrepresentation falls more squarely under the ACCCs role. So, if you have a warranty issue, you would use the ACL to go to small claims. If the company was misrepresenting your warranty rights (like Valve did), however, that would be an ACCC issue. If they straight up say you bought something when you have actually licensed it, definitely an ACCC issue

Australian here. Telstra was bought and paid for by Australian tax payers. It was then privatized and Australians then got the option to buy a portion of it again by buying shares. So a company that had all its infrastructure at one point bought and paid for by taxpayers then had that company sold off. The only difference between that and this is if you bought shares you would at least still have them.

As an Australian, Telstra is a TOTALLY SCUM company. Answered my parents landline phone many years ago, they AUTOMATICALLY assumed I was the guy who owned the lime and tried to GUILT TRIP me into changing back to them with more expensive calls ALL AROUND. I worked for a competitor and had recently switched my parents over to that competitor. They are completely useless when it comes to refunds when they screw up your bill charging you for a disconnected line, call centres in india that spin you around in circles. NEVER using them again. When they turned off analog and put up a new tower THAT DIDN'T WORK, they blamed the 260 cell phones in this town for ALL not working and NOT their tower. They are BEYOND arrogant. Even have a photo of posters in their shop "looks like the share price is up". I don't know HOW they can get away with advertising crap like that. Was considered the most overvalued company in Australia for YEARS by stock brokers

feels so weird/validating to have public and international condemnation of telstra - i'm currently on an nbn plan of theirs and regularly have swathes of days or weeks where its on 4g backup (i.e. often slower than 1mbps download when we're paying for like at least 20mbps-100mbps) - i mean the NBN infrastructure was made unnecessarily badly because the politicians were in the pocket of rupert murdoch (who owns the satellite tv streaming service foxtel) who didn't want worldclass internet cause it would be bad for his bottom line. telstra nbn is honestly pretty expensive on the market and if you want to try and get someone on the phone to resolve any issue it regularly takes multiple hours and you can tell that the support personnel have been outsourced and are probably making very little money for their demanding labour. Telstra used to be telecom in the 1990s (a government owned corporation) and before that postmaster general in the pre-1970s (a government department) but our corrupt politicans just HAD to privatise it and make sure that people could gamble on it's stock prices. thanks John Howard.

The problem with people who always say things like that is that if you think everything is part of some evil master plan, be it the aforementioned WEF or whichever group has previously occupied the same space in people's imaginations, if everything's connected and all is preplanned, it must be so huge that you wonder why fight it? You will just become a cynic who does nothing but dish out the kinds of comments you did. Yes, everything's going in the same direction, but guess what, everything always has. If someone figures out a new way to squeeze more money out of something, then everyone else will follow. This is the marketplace; it's the market economy. You cannot think about whether it is right or wrong if it's allowed by law. You cannot voluntarily give others an advantage in the marketplace because your market share will be eaten up, and then you're screwed. The antidote for this is law, rules, and regulations, but huge numbers of people, especially in the US, are against governmental interventions and want fewer regulations and more freedom for companies to do as they please. So they do exactly that.

If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24/7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable." - Gabe Newell, 2011

Sounds like the Ministry of Truth. The truth is what you are told it is. Yesterdays truth no longer exists. Todays truth may not exist tomorrow. But if you try and find the truth, it has always been what you are told it is today.

Depends on whom you vote for. Libertarians will give you a choice to find your own truth no matter if its true or not; conservatives will only give you 1 option and you have to follow it no matter what; refusal is not allowed! I prefer common sense. Give out facts, actively block all conspiracies and don´t allow companies or political groups to have say in it. Yes, it can be abused - but which system ever made by humans cannot? If anything, libertarian system currently shows, it does not work, because majority of people will always pick the more comfortable "truth" instead of the real and painful actual truth.

@@Morpheus-pt3wq Odd you only note libertarians and conservatives. Conservatives and liberals both have the same mentality of "refusal not allowed". And it's rather pointless to point it out as a negative: most people are searching for _the truth_ that is out there. The only difference between them and you is the extremity of refusal. I'm not saying that you have an incorrect conclusion, but that the only difference between your outlook and my outlook (as a conservative) is that I have already come to a conclusion on what is true with the facts that have been given.

*Thank you! I am so glad that everyday people are waking up to what people have been called a conspiracy theorist for saying for decades.* Keep doing great work brother. It’s quite sad to see some people I know be demonised for saying all of this, and other stuff like politics, the elites, pandemic, wars, etc for decades. I’m glad people are waking up.

I think the issue was he said the doorbell was racist. It was causing false alerts when minorities approached or walked by it. Amzn didn’t like that, and removed his account to prevent him getting more evidence
