But the Aussie Government doesn't want to do that because they want to control and spy on their people, and they use the "think of the children" argument or the "we're trying to stop the immigrants" to try and get people on side. It's basically the same evil manipulation that Trump and Starmer try when doing disgraceful policies that nobody asked for as a top priority, and benefits nobody long term.

If that were true, they’d want them on social media to be able to spy on them.

Also, social media wasn’t designed for kids, young adults (16+) is who it was originally designed for.
