U16 Social Media Ban - Senate 1hr debate before the vote, some time tonight on the livestream
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.

We should ban u16s from public transport. Too many have had fatal accidents due to dangerous behaviour around railways and bus stops. Compulsory learning from home, now!
If you think that’s a solid argument or one based in logic, good news. You’d probably make for an ideal liberal senator.
Satire, I thought it was obvious.
Welp went over my head, my bad, imma blame it on Poe’s law or something satirical but critical of the bill my point stands.
Yes, @oahi@oahi@aussie.zone was being critical of the Bill. Because it's about as well thought-out as their satirical banning of children on public transport.
I see a lot of people parroting surface level points provided by those in opposition to the bill but little addressing it. Especially the “social credit” nonsense. As mentioned in the debate digital ID wouldn’t be the only means for these social media companies to verify users. Though I agree that how it’s been rushed through is inappropriate.
Well, I generally don't consider satire to be a solid argument, it usuallp consisting of a joke and all. But if it makes people think, I'd consider it a win.
This bill is clearly not an effective solution for the stated problem. If you think it is, you'd probably make a good liberal senator.
All good
(Satire)
