This is completely dystopian...
"Since the Online Safety Act came into effect, we've seen an awful lot of political censorship and nothing in the way of saving children. Children's lives have not been improved by this bill, but all of us have seen loss of privacy and loss of information we should be allowed to access in a free society."

Yeah. Well, that's why we're here, right. We all knew this was coming.
I'm surprised, that the general public is so surprised.
The general public is not surprised. The general public welcomes things like this, lamenting some inconveniences in their daily internet routine. The general public thinks that this is acceptable because it protects the children from the baddies.
We here are in a niche, our own bubble, with all the goodies and the baddies.
Well, most older people barely use the Internet, but many have grandkids. They don't realize that they're actually hurting their grandkids, but they can often not figure out how to send an e-mail and they trust their government, so... 🤷🏻♀️
