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)

    This comment right here. Not a fan of this bill at all and may potentially leave any platform that demands this information and/or ‘digital id’.

          Not OP, but this garbage solidified my decision that I wish to move countries sometime soon. I think the EU’s done a good job at regulating corporations while also not making such over the top decisions, and generally respecting democratic processes when they do make heavy handed decisions

              That’s a large part of why I’m planning on continuing my studies eventually. As soon as the opportunity to move comes up,.I’m out of here
