 In case #AUStriches thought they could vote their way out of this.

The Opposition Potato in Chief wants social media restricted up to age 16, unlike Labor who want it up to age 13.

That’s the Overton Window of your Liberal Democracy. https://i.nostr.build/cNfPciFox17o4BFE.jpg  nostr:note19h9tywdxhqnxwelte26spv98k3xpzctsfpst643f6zk2l05zq96qv38kyk 
 Overton window firmly moved. 
 Who protects us from an over reaching  government? Oh wait we can if we deny fiat. If they can't pay the Police and Army then they don't have control.

 Tbh, I think it will do SFA..Might make some of the geeks, a good income, showing their peers how to get around such BS..  
 It’s not meant to stop kids getting on social media - everyone knows that is futile.

The point is to require the platforms to KYC all Australian users so eKaren can send goons to kick your door in when you question forced medical interventions / a racist referendum / why 1 in 30 people in the country is a foreign student / what dragqueens are doing reading books to children at public libraries / why the economy has shit itself / any other thing they don’t like.

fOr dA cHiLdReN is just the excuse. https://i.nostr.build/aswvzs1jjV4EwoDU.jpg  
 Ahh yes. Still will make a lot more ppl interested in learning about Nostr ;)..
It is slapping ppl across the face, if this comes to pass, those that accept were never going to make it.. 
 Maybe I'm just in the "screw stupid ppl" phase.. 
 There's no way they'd incrementally increase the age and access once the law is passed exactly like they have with literally every other law 
 Information benefits from attempts to suppress it. 

This is why Nostr will win.

 Internet passports, coming right up. 
 This is way we need decentralized ISP 
 Is this realistically possible? 
 Dutton might be worse than Albo. I didn't think this was possible.  
 The problem is not the social media. Noone is dealing with eg 4chan. The problem is algorithmic feeds that shows you must hateful controversial content. These algos are erasing your brain that’s why they are dangerous. They are very easy to bias towards spreading propaganda. So if we agree that selling crack on street of SF to kids is not OK we should be more emphatic to trying to fix this as well. 
 We don’t agree about selling crack.

The State and its interventionism is the problem.

The algos aren’t feeding the kids statism like we used to get from radio and tv and newspapers and public schooling. Kids aren’t buying the facade any more because Millenials and younger are done with this shit and aren’t consuming the propaganda like the Boomers did and do.

That challenges the State’s legitimacy and they can’t have that. Can’t have people consuming unapproved narratives and wondering how big of a mob would be needed to effectively guillotine all of the parasites in parliament to rid ourselves of this nonsense.

That’s all this is about. 
 I agree with you that state should intervene least possible. Also i think they are trying to fix the problem (ef extremism, child abuse, …) with wrong tools. Typical govt incompetency. Yet I think feeds algos are actual problem then needs to be dealt with. Imagine if buy platform where kids use to flock and i start to sneak addictive hatefull shit to them just. Would you as a parent be ok with it? We can debate level of interventionism we are ok with here but we have regulations that govenrs company practices for hundreds of years 
 I as a parent would take responsibility for my children.

That’s what parents are supposed to do - not outsource parenting to the State.

It’s like you’ve forgotten the natural order of things because you’re so awash in modern day nanny statism. 
 Would you be ok if i sell crack to your kid? Would you just tell your kid not to buy it from me or would you rather go and “deal” with me? If later would you consider delegating that as more effective solution? 
 Selling drugs involves two consenting parties - my kid would get the first beating and you’d get the second.

And no I wouldn’t delegate that.

Are you allergic to responsibilities or something? Female perhaps? 
 What if i am 300pound shredded gorilla and you really have no way to “beat” me? 
 I agree about the algorithmic feeds. The amount of shit X constantly tries to push into your feed completely unrelated to the kind of accounts and content you follow is mind blowing. 
 Also, i am 100% for max freedom so first it is company that needs to be “regulated” not the visitor. Second 2 consenting adults should be able to agree about anything so if i agree that X will shit russian propaganda into my brain then noone should be able to stop this transaction. But this must be maximally transparent. X must describe with max details what they are shitting into my brain. We all know they (Musk, Zuck, Xi, …) use the nastiest ways to grab tour attention and manipulate you. I am fine with that if they open the algos and let adults decide 
 100%! 
 Opposition Potato in Chief 🤣 
 If we, the people, don’t cut down the invisible heads @  the very world top, tyranny will fast and for every take over our humble #freedom worldwide. Those puppets follow the plan and they do so efficiently 😱! 
 Because restrictions have been so effective for plandemics, violent crime, drugs and alcohol, we're going to apply the same strategy again in new areas. 

Don't worry about taking responsibility for parenting. Leave that to us 🤡
