I wonder what @deepcutnews.bsky.social is writing about on #Substack this morning?

Thanks #ALP, age gated out of reading Australian political news. Great job.

Hey Substack, apparently Persona reckon you are the 'customer' & 'data controller'. Do you keep my face?

Katharine Murphy hasn’t had any positive impact on the PM’s office, as far as I can tell.

Labor won the last Federal Election as the least worst option, relative to Soot Morrorson.

Labor have not improved their standing.

At least our PM @australianlabor.bsky.social is consistently Community Noted. What I hope we see next is a high court challenge to these new draconian "laws."

And you know—if you were doing "everything we can," you'd be ending poverty & keeping kids away from Churches. Just sayin'. #auspol #AgeBan

Would we have even had a Greta Thunberg without giving young people access to social media?

I doubt it.

That would be the same Tik Tok that I believe is banned from govt-issued devices both here and in the majority of US States, but that same govt will happily allow Tik Tok to collect & keep biometric and/or copies of Govt ID from the majority of Aussies? #ageban #auspol

We already know how the social media ban might look in practice. And it involves handing over government ID (just not sure to whom at this stage) #auspol #ageban

So you'll still have to hand over your ID, just not WHEN using socmed, but prior to. Talk about semantics! You can tell she used to be a lawyer! #ageban

On top of all that, ALP gave ppl only 24 hours to object to the #AgeBan . That's NOT democratic. Imagine what forcing everyone onto a digital ID will be like in the hands of LNP? They'll weaponise it against dissent. It's dangerous. Ppl are rightfully concerned IMO & as usual, NO DETAIL.
