60% of Australians support a social media ban for youth under the age of 17
The least absurd of the three highlighted poll results, but I still strongly oppose it if for no other reason than we know they'll expand it to other age groups and other areas of the internet.
80% support making social media platforms pay for licence to operate,
79% support a regulator with the power to order content removal.
What the fuck is wrong with Australians?? I don't know who responds to their "YouGov" polls. Maybe the results are skewed? Because if not, holy shit...
Answering an audience question about how eSafety would protect free speech on social media, Inman Grant emphasised that eSafety supports free expression, but only if it doesn’t cause harm.
Just be honest and come out against free expression because literally anything can be considers harmful to someone somewhere
These polls are usually worded in such a way to lobby for what the Government wants. Ultimately what they want are national Intranets but that will take time so until then it's a heavily regulated Internet where Government decides what is "truth" and what is "safe".
