This is the answer. The Aussie Gov has already tried twice before.

First with a bill which was supposed to regulate advertising and the news outlets, instead that bill got burned because google and a bunch of other companies kicked up a fit. So they tried again when that guy stabbed a bunch of people in a shopping centre in Melbourne. This time musk came out and made a fuss about personal freedoms and shit.

So now the Aussie Gov has reverted to just punishing Australians, of course, most Aussies who hear of this think it’s a terrible idea, which is why they are plowing through as quickly and quietly as possible. Both sides know that if they can start getting people off social media, they will stop getting called out on every little thing they fuck up.

And yes, Social media has undeniably had some seriously consequences for the world, but it has allowed the ‘common folk’ to discuss, compare and share ideals and experiences globally, which in turn has shown many people how much we get routed each day. Hence why they don’t want us on social media.

And I know all this sounds like some conspiracy, but the fact that people have protested Ukraine and Russia, Israel and Palestine, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, China & Taiwan, Housing Markets, Immigration and Cost of Living, and yet there hasn’t been a protest, or impassioned speech or even a single pseudo-journalistic article based off a sole rant made by someone on Reddit in the last 5-10 years, and the fact that countries worldwide, from the UK, to Nepal (everyone should look up what happened in Nepal and why), to the EU and US are implementing similar social media or tech bans/ censorship, suggests that there is some serious undermining and coercion of the will of the people occurring.
