Nah. I disagree. There were good intentions from many of our politicians even when some don’t know good from bad.

There are still people who go into politics in Australia because they want to make the world better. They aren’t all crooks. Of course once you get into politics you want to be successful and when you have a populist policy that will win votes sometimes you don’t want to look too closely at the cons.

It’s all open to manipulation. There is a very real threat to our privacy, freedom, democracy, sovereignty and more out there when we supply out personal data to these companies. I agree this shit is very dangerous. I don’t believe that was the intention. It’s just a consequence.
