Australian Senate, last sitting of the year. No idea when the Social Media Ban debate is kicking off.

If anyone’s keen, feel free to give a live run-down of anything interesting in this thread.

(sorry about all the edits, just trying to get a decent thumbnail: elevated photo of the Australian Senate)

    If you think that’s a solid argument or one based in logic, good news. You’d probably make for an ideal liberal senator.

      Satire, I thought it was obvious.

          Yes, @[email protected] was being critical of the Bill. Because it’s about as well thought-out as their satirical banning of children on public transport.

            I see a lot of people parroting surface level points provided by those in opposition to the bill but little addressing it. Especially the “social credit” nonsense. As mentioned in the debate digital ID wouldn’t be the only means for these social media companies to verify users. Though I agree that how it’s been rushed through is inappropriate.
