    Trump/maga can fuck off

    also, this shows exactly that what Australia is doing will have a positive effect for Australia, it will stop exploitation, abuse by these big companies.

    So lets just keep doing this harder

      Interesting take, the government isn’t doing anything that benefits the people.

      that free speech saying is pure New Speak , it’s the opposite of reality

      also, in America you can pretty much dress up anything as acceptable when you call it freedom

      for example regarding child labour laws, republicans will say, “the children deserve the freedom to work in the coal mines”

        and the democrats will say ‘the republicans did it’

        Nothing is going to get better as long as people continue to treat duopoly parties like sporting teams.

    Oh shit. For a second, I forgot this was Australia and not the US.

    Sounds like Dump and his cronies can go eat a bag of shit.

    And the people of the Fediverse are saying it’s the way to stay relatively sane. If Demented Don is for algorithms then opting out is the right thing to do.

    It’s the exact opposite of what the US is saying. It will make Facebook deliver exactly what’s asked of it.
