So YouTube will be banned for under 16s but Snapchat allowed because it is a messaging service

😂😂😂😂

Inept Richard Colbeck was NOT an outlier ...

Wtaf… beyond idiotic at this point

paulwa14.bsky.social•106 days ago

This whole Labor social media legislation has major league clusterfuck written all over it.

Blowing 2025 re-election a mortal blow.

So will Facebook be banned but not their Messenger app ? How stupid!! None of these fascist politicians are making any sense whatsoever.....

alspatch.bsky.social•106 days ago

Shit.....politicians in Australia are dumb....

harrij.bsky.social•106 days ago

It sounds like a thought bubble (or lack of thought).

eshanes.bsky.social•106 days ago

It's almost impressive how much this whole saga keeps getting even more embarrassing.

It would be so nice to have grownups run the country. Just once.

drsassenach.bsky.social•106 days ago

A farce!

emergencybk.bsky.social•106 days ago

Ughhh! It appears there's many areas they don't understand, this being just one of them.

teenbell.bsky.social•106 days ago

Good oh. BlueSky is also a messaging service. It’s how I get the message about how shit our politicians are.

leighlo.bsky.social•106 days ago

That's nuts.

zakmckrakken.bsky.social•106 days ago

I am so disappointed by this mob. Simply a bunch of halfwits walking around a darkened room flinging crap all over the place. What happened to the Labor Party? #auspol

ashrafghebranious.bsky.social•106 days ago

You need to follow people on snapchat to see their posts, right? I'm old so I dont know exactly... But stuff like tik tok and other services lets you see things they think you will like based on your use of the app?

petermclarty.bsky.social•106 days ago

No, the feature is called Spotlight. Created for business, but heaps of users migrate to business accounts to give them the features they get. Like people frequently do on instagram

ashrafghebranious.bsky.social•106 days ago

sure. but that is 'picked' to be shown. Which means the app has the ability to control what is shown. You wont get suicide videos on spot light. Or I think if you do, then snapchat itself is in deep shit for spot lighting it.

petermclarty.bsky.social•106 days ago

No people can share stuff that others can see without following. You can email to friends, a group, or like an audience.

ashrafghebranious.bsky.social•106 days ago

But to share, you need to be following them? Yes? And its different than the AI of the app doing it?

adoptond.bsky.social•106 days ago

Snapchat has stories & spotlight features whee people share to & anyone can watch it like a TikTok or Insta reel.

ashrafghebranious.bsky.social•106 days ago

wearytraveller.bsky.social•106 days ago

Because it’s not about the kids, it’s about controlling media and nothing else

kackles74.bsky.social•106 days ago

If someone had told me that the Labor government would resign itself to one term due to some radical policies I wouldn’t have expected them to be imprisoning whistleblowers, ignoring genocide and implementing an Internet License.
But here we are.

bradbrookjenny.bsky.social•103 days ago

But what's the alterative? Do you think the lnp would be different? They don't even agree with the small steps Labor is taking regarding Palestine. If you have a good Independent, vote for them, but then preference labor.

methusheilah.bsky.social•106 days ago

The Canberra "boffins" have no idea what snap chat is.

lalulizzi.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yet it looks like banning u tube… make it make sense

stuckonaredrock.bsky.social•106 days ago

It’s just embarrassing at this point. Do none of these Ministers have an actual teenager in their lives who could educate them a bit?!

anthonysmaroon.bsky.social•106 days ago

Labor doesn't understand too much at all. Why they'll go 2nd last next election & every election after that. No more 2nd preference for them. They can join their LNP reserves side at the bottom of the ballot

johnalees.bsky.social•106 days ago

Labor don't know their arse from their albo.

lukefoley.me•106 days ago

I see what you did there 😂

anthonysmaroon.bsky.social•106 days ago

Just a bit of fun😁😁

lukefoley.me•106 days ago

Labor don’t know their arse from their albo™️ 😂

johnalees.bsky.social•106 days ago

@artistaffame.bsky.social another t shirt idea for you?

anthonysmaroon.bsky.social•106 days ago

Hahahaha

anthonysmaroon.bsky.social•106 days ago

They know cruelty as good if not better than their reserve side besties

jodiehwrites.bsky.social•105 days ago

They have no fucking idea! YouTube is extremely helpful for education

Snapchat is a cesspool of bullying and sexting - like that’s the “messaging” the kids do on there ffs 🤦‍♀️

garigalanj.bsky.social•106 days ago

Not to mention boys chatting on Xbox and playing adult rated games

petermclarty.bsky.social•106 days ago

But aren't they including online gaming spaces? Killing the Playstation network and Xbox online.
They are showing themselves incompetent at best on this

jessicafox99.bsky.social•106 days ago

I love how they didn't even bother to define social media before going down this route

becadroit.bsky.social•106 days ago

Until there's a definition of social media it can't be banned. And I'm fairly certain whatever app the kids are really using isn't even on the radar of ban writers.

becadroit.bsky.social•106 days ago

Govt forgets kids file share between themselves including to bully others. Based on nothing but guess work, what kids need is oversight, education re tech, law, bullying, safety & consequences. Plus emotional regulation & social tools, psychologists, stable home lives, safety etc.

itsanita.bsky.social•106 days ago

Wait wasn’t the rationale for banning kids from socials partly about protecting kids from the self esteem issues caused by filters? The filters on Snapchat are the point of the app!

valentenya.bsky.social•106 days ago

And the train wreck continues ……

purplegoddess.bsky.social•106 days ago

I have to keep reminding myself that Elbow is the same age as me, because he is EXTREMELY Boomer. Dickhead.

angrybudgie.bsky.social•106 days ago

No words.

erstkate.bsky.social•106 days ago

It's embarrassing. it's up there with only tracking the metadata.

kynomchemuahdebs.bsky.social•106 days ago

Every 16yr old I know will run rings around this BS. Hell, my 14yr old grandson just laughs when he hears the pious nonsense pollies are spewing around this.

blshiv.bsky.social•106 days ago

That's hilarious. Or is it sad? I'm not sure. Both?

pogmathoin.bsky.social•106 days ago

Technological Luddites... if they think kids don't know about VPN's then I have an opera house to sell them...🤔

dgibbsy.bsky.social•106 days ago

2/2 . It is appalling what he is doing. I am so disappointed in him. He has no clue on this and is not speaking to the right people.

dgibbsy.bsky.social•106 days ago

Oh my god they are so dumb. I teach 15-year-old kids at high school and Snapchat is the absolute worst for bullying. People say cruel things and then it just disappears unless they can get a quick screenshot to report. 1/2

iainnd.bsky.social•106 days ago

Seems like a bad idea to explicitly make an exception for doing stuff like this imho
https://amp.abc.net.au/article/104544932

anomander.bsky.social•106 days ago

I think they consulted Tony Abbott, who told them it was "digital graffiti", and that children should be taught how to use fax machines in school.

tchaypo.bsky.social•106 days ago

I’m looking forward to seeing whether Telegram is defined as a social network or a messaging platform.

WhatsApp offers most of the same features so presumably would fall under the same definition.

Discord…

bradbrookjenny.bsky.social•106 days ago

They can post pictures etc on snap chat. This can be just as damaging.

hurmphry.bsky.social•106 days ago

What in the stupid

nomorefs.bsky.social•106 days ago

And this is exactly why @albomp.bsky.social & Labor will continue losing elections. The don’t get technology so they can’t make sound decisions or even market their policies to the electorate - they’ll get ‘worked over’ like US Dems

wearytraveller.bsky.social•106 days ago

Thanks I didn’t know that twit was on here so the link was handy to block

Politicians will ruin this place quicker than it needs to be

diamondqc.bsky.social•106 days ago

it's definitely that but more fundamentally it's Labor's complete and indefensibly ignorant unwillingness to #ReadTheFknRoom 🙄
Palestine, census/LGBTQIA inclusion, housing policy, #RaiseTheRate... the list is too fucking long and frustrating to compile
Labor: spineless, self-serving, immoral
#auspol

nomorefs.bsky.social•106 days ago

Totally!

thommo67.bsky.social•106 days ago

Government control, censorship and digital ID. Meanwhile the greatest media threat to humanity, Rupert Murdoch receives Australian government funding. This is not a democracy

laine132.bsky.social•106 days ago

I think they want to lose the election

tibtib.bsky.social•106 days ago

It is beyond belief how bad this is

blshiv.bsky.social•106 days ago

This is wild. How could they protect minors and allow Snapchat?!? 🤣🤣🤣 they are so incompetent it's hilarious...

soniaahhh.bsky.social•106 days ago

countrybee2.bsky.social•106 days ago

This is ridiculous. How can they ... ?

Labor is ridiculous.
