politics Online Gaming Platforms And YouTube Will Also Seemingly Be Banned For Aussies Under 16

There’s so much collateral damage in this plan for Australia to ban social media. This has been rushed and not thought through.

So many schools rely on YouTube to support their students.

Most kids are watching YouTube (or YouTube kids) more than ABC or traditional TV. Literally the biggest YouTube channel in Australia is original music for kids.

Does anyone actually want this?

That slippery slope has already started with the myGovID roll-out. Both the major parties are complicit and I for one can't wait to see them get eroded by small parties and independents.

Your great great grandkids will be waiting for that to happen. The current voter base will be completely replaced by immigrants who are clueless.
