Australian popping in. i sent this to our government through the parliament website

"

I do not wish to be writing this, I would hope that the people we, as Australians, elect to our parliament would have the mind to ask us, as Australians,what we want and need. 

The Social Media ban, is a bad idea that excuses negligent parenting and actively makes life harder for Queer and minority teenagers to seek support and normalisation in a society hostile towards our existence. 

The bill allows the sharing of data with third parties including location and private information which empowers fishing schemes and insurance discrimination. 

The date gathering is encouraged with no clear opt out enshrined into the TOS (that's terms of Service, since the government seems to have a thoroughly limited view of the internet as a landscape). The data collection requirements are also allowed to be expanded with no input from parliament or the people. 

Considering the historical weakness of government databases I am sceptical of any demands for private information.

not to mention how this will isolate Queer and disabled teenagers looking for support groups and  information. Many of us used social media as a mode for self discovery and connection with communities, if you take that away their blood will be on your hands. It’s a bandair solution which could work if we were talking about a benign cut but the problems that this bill purports to address are much more complex than taking the site away. Parents need to be equipped, kids need to be taught things like empathy and resilience. This bill is just the same rhetoric which has seen so many robbed of their human rights and dignities. 

If this sounds too aggressive that's because it is, because this problem is important. The government either needs to drip the bill, edit it heavily or own up to the truth; that this is a surveillance bill with no ones safety in mind. 

While it is still not too late, I would encourage you to speak up or send this to any senate members you have access to and think about what the government is doing. This bill cannot pass as it is, if we want to keep people safe.

Best"

If you live in Australia you can submit and inquiry at https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Environment_and_Communications/SocialMediaMinimumAge

You can also follow LillahRPG on Tik Tok they have great information about the bill and why it's a glorified surveillance bill

Be aware: Australia is likely implementing a bill similar to KOSA. However it is a complete ban for social media for under 16 year olds. Raise awareness about this like you did for KOSA.

I didn't know predstrogen or her blog but that doesn't matter to me and it shouldn't matter to you. if they came for her they will come for you. if you're not trans they will come for you when they're done with them.

hate doesn't start and end with one target, it morphs and amalgamates until no one is safe, and it lashes out a lot.

a second time?

A SECOND TIME??????

tumblr staff REALLY do NOT want this comic on this site despite it including NOTHING that could be deemed inappropriate, especially when compared to to the usual shit they let pass

if i can't even have this completely safe for work comic on my blog, i don't even wanna be on this site anymore. but i guess that's exactly what they want, that's why they recently went on a trans woman banning spree, not even bothering to give reasons for some, let alone good reasons

why don't you just fucking ban me while you're at it? you've already proven you can do that without warning nor any given reason

Funniest thing about the #australia social media ban is tumblr has not been mentioned once but YouTube is going to be banned along with Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter for under 16s… look dead tumblr you don’t want them finding us
