Online bullying is a real problem that needs to be tackled, but that’s not the motive whatsoever behind this bill. Anyone believing otherwise has fallen for the government’s BS, to put it bluntly.

What is the motive?
Well, it’s not about protecting kids online. It is, at the very least, about government tracking, spying, tyranny, control, power, as so on.
If you really want to go down the “conspiratorial” path: Digital ID, (having your ID attached to everything you do online), social credit scores, etc…
And before you label any of these as “wacky right-wing conspiracy theories”, you’ll find that many if not most people with these views are also very left-leaning, so it’s not a matter of left vs right.

So, I guess you will also be going off social media?

Well with social media they have very little control over what is said unlike traditional media and it also stems to the other bill about trust worthy sources. My issue is that it isn’t going far enough and it can’t be enforced. I would like a law that virtually says they have x amount of time to remove hurtful content and they don’t they get fined considerably per minute the content is left on the platform. With AI it is easier than it ever was to police the content but social media company’s such as Meta are more interested in profits than anything else.
And they hate that fact.

I’m very comfortable with this bill, nobody will stop these kids from doing their YouTube videos, and you can hardly day these are regular examples of what the bill is trying to protect.
Great appearance on McKnight Tonight this evening Leo.

During breaks on the 6 News live stream, a selection of articles/headlines from our website will be shown. Let me know your thoughts.

Looks amazing, looks like something I would get from the NBC News Now livestreams, except we now have an Australian version.
Well done @Leo_Puglisi6, @austip and the entire 6 News team!

I love it! But IMO the photo looks really out of place.

imo, considering when your on-air graphics are in play while the breakfiller is running, I don’t think you need the additional 6 News logo on the right, especially as you got your watermark on the top left.
either way tho, the breakfiller is a good idea! good job!

If you aren’t selling ads, why have a break? You kids are young enough to have enough energy not to need a break.
