Australia's Social Media Ban

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Run-around way to get Internet IDs into place along with Digital Social Credit Score.

Australia is scarier than Great Britain in terms of incremental Tyranny.

Look, it's not about kids verifying their age.....It's Everyone Verifying Who They Are to Access Social Media. They'll take it a step further and say the Internet needs personal ID to access, plus need a credit score to determine if you should be awarded or punished for onl8ne and offline activities

^^^How do I know this? Because this describes current Chinese society. That's What China Does As I Type This. Yes, it's a cool ass country with all the tech and it's safe and this and that, but adopting these techniques for social control will swiftly undermine what it means to be American in terms of freedom.

You can maybe make an argument for porn sites, but social media will be straw for the camel.

Stop.

Wasn't you on here pushing info wars for years and all their conspiracies talking about balanced media intake and being objective. I haven't seen you post since the covid hoaxes fell apart.

The internet needs chaperons for fools.

1. MSNBC and CNN are going out of business, not IW with its "conspiracy theory" ass face.

2. Covid19 is up to 10 boosters as of today. How many boosters are you up to breh? If not 10 boosters you are Anti-Vax. Sounds like Covid narrative already fell apart.

3. Shiit, IW is typically years/months/weeks/days ahead of releasing truthful news compared to the likes of "Ya Fired" media like CNN and MSNBC. So I guess CNN and MSNBC got Biden "elected" with Russian Collusion conspiracy theory then

4. Internet "needs chaperones"?...So you admitting you don't like the 1st Amendment and support Tyranny to dictate what you read, hear a see for yourself and everyone.
Sounds Like you want to be a Lil Tyrant.

Devils advocate, social media is not a right. There would be less trolls and hate and propaganda if people knew they would be tracked.

But typing this I beat my own argument because maybe be need social for justice, anti govt rhetoric and galvanizing - but which one happens more?

What is out of tough about a ban?

Isn’t it easier to get on social media normally then to download and pay for a VPN (we are talking about kids right?)

If this is successful in getting kids off facebook or tiktok I dont think theyll stop engaging in "social media". It will just be different harder to regulate and find websites designed to circumvent these restrictions.

If youre a fourteen year old raised online and they tell you you cant go on Instagram any more, youre gonna spend all your time trying to get around that ban.

And I'm not sure whatever circumvention methods pop up will be better than what weve got already.

As a sidenote: I don't use any social media except here if that counts.
