Australian Senate, last sitting of the year. No idea when the Social Media Ban debate is kicking off.

If anyone’s keen, feel free to give a live run-down of anything interesting in this thread.

(sorry about all the edits, just trying to get a decent thumbnail: elevated photo of the Australian Senate)

    Yes, but Social Media apps can derive location data through other means, including time zone and language settings, visible WiFi Access Points, not to mention GPS.

    The Libs passed the legislation because they’re corrupt.
    Labor passed it because they’re incompetent.

    Either way, it’s likely that the AustGov will be the gatekeepers of ‘onboarding’ and re-verification of existing users.

    It’s a disgrace.
