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)

    Welp went over my head, my bad, imma blame it on Poe’s law or something satirical but critical of the bill my point stands.

      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.
