  Satire, I thought it was obvious.

      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.

      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.
