I think mainstream social media can wreck your brain real bad. If I had kids I wouldn't give them anything but a dumbphone until they're 16. But I also think that this move by the Aust government has NOTHING to do with children.

It's all about universal KYC, social engineering, and locking up any opposition to the two parties which are practically identical.

It pains me to say, but our democracy is a complete fraud. If the world survives the next 10 years without nuclear war we'll get to see how bad despotism can really get. 
 Also, this legislation is why I'm here right now. I don't use social media at all, but I want to find alternatives for my fellow Australians who do.
