#1 RED HERRING

The government has brought this up because parents love the idea and it is controversial

So it takes all the air time

What they are REALLY doing, under cover of the US election and this red herring, is pushing through the CENSORSHIP BILL

The Democrat-aligned “blob” (deep state, state dept, cia, nsa, fbi, censorship industrial complex) has been going round the world getting europe and the anglosphere to set up bureaucracies to CENSOR the socials

This means you cannot critise health policy, bureaucracies or corporations on Substack, Tik Tok, Twitter, YouTube, FaceBook or anywhere there is one-to-many broadcasting like whatsapp

This will CENSOR DISSENT and while it was aimed at trump and trump won, it hasnt stopped over here in australia

They are ramming it through faster than ever

What the goal is, is to CENSOR the USA bypassing your 1a protection

Because when the big social firms have to comply with censorship legislation in Au, UK, Canada, NZ, EU, it is easier to just apply a blanket policy patrolled by AI across the entire platform including in the USA

So YOU get censored by default

And bye the way, this back engineers censorship of fox, msnbc, cbs, cnn, abc etc

Know why? JOUrNALISTS metric of success is how much a story is shared and how many clicks it gets. They won’t write what won’t get shared on socials or their career falls

YES !
We use Age restrictions for Movies, voting, smokes, driving, and alcohol now.

So why not the Internet?

Given the LEFT's Sexual Perversion and early recruitment agenda, all aimed at grade school ages and etc...

It ain't like sneaking a peek at the 7-11 Mag rack anymore.

#4 Sounds like censorship to me. Just like keeping kids in school until they're 18 sounds like prison. If they can't watch their smart phones, then they have to watch TV, is that it? And the government controls the TV?

#5 Reminds me of the late 1990’s when the GIVERnment shut down NAPSTER and online music sharing. Someone in my daughter’s high school set up a private server and 400+ students shared all their music. I really do not know how you shut down forums, gaming socials, special interest pages….

#6 This is NOT the censorship bill

This is a red herring

Everyone loves this

So they are using it toBLIND you to what they actually want go pass which is ANOTHER bill that censors all social media platforms

This other censorship bill appoints a bureaucratic agency, a ministry of truth called ACMA to force social media firms to censor themselves for “misinformation”

Remember the suppression of Hunter Bidens laptop?

THAT

The oroblem is ANOTHER bill that cdnsors the entire internet purging it of dissent for ADULTS

And there is ONE WEEK to stop this second , other bill
