My kids aren’t on social media, and won’t be for as long as I have parental control.
But by golly do I bloody love this.
PARENTS raise children. Not governments.
Imagine your kids going to school everyday and learning what the government tells them to learn, and then cut away their access to outside information which could shape their way of thinking outside of a government given one.
IMAGINE how it would look to raise children with very little critical thinking and now zero legal access to ideas that question the status quo.
I mean, I can see who benefits from that kinda plan; and it ain’t the kids or the new world that needs to be birthed ASAP.
Social media is a cesspool of foulness that I agree our kids shouldn’t have access to. So why in the Lord Farquad are we not cleaning up the nonsense that resides on these platforms and instead, starting the ball rolling on allowing the government to have a say on what information we can and cannot access, and when.
If you think for a second this is about safety only, think the fak again.
This is just like the ‘do as your told’ circus that happened Voldermort ago.
Please don’t reach to touch your toes without asking if you really want to be poked.
The government thought it could parent the nation’s children. Turns out the kids, Mum, Dad and Nan disagreed loudly.
Parents were quoted saying “We’ll decide what our kid does not Canberra.”
Others bragged they’d helped their kids stay online, because unlike the policy writers, they actually know their own children.
One mum literally told reporters she bypassed the ban because “the government doesn’t raise my kid, I do.”
Grandparents joined the rebellion too.
Some scanned their own faces so their grandkids could access apps and others hilariously scanned the covers of vinyl records and CD cases in hopes the AI would think it was a real person.
Peak Aussie ingenuity.
So while Parliament was patting itself on the back, families were saying “Thanks for the advice, but we’ll handle this.”
The adults telling everyone their accounts were going to be deleted yesterday have already moved on to telling everyone they will be now banned on the 27th.
Yet just like the social media ban, that will also end up as a giant nothing-burger served cold.
Another government failure which will wake up more to the digital ID agenda and show they don’t actually care about the kids. Their incompetency should turn more people away with ever trusting them with anything.
The government tried to flex control.
Parents flexed harder.
Kids flexed the hardest.
After backing down to the government earlier in their life by staying inside and wearing masks, it’s good to see the kids saying “we’ve had enough”.
You can’t centrally manage teenagers, families don’t like being dictated to, and every time bureaucrats say “We’ve got this,” the public replies “Hold my phone.”
So while the PM sends a stern “message to children,” thousands of children respond with
middle fingers, fake birthdays, VPNs, and grandparents who scanned their face to prove a point.
Parents raise their kids, not politicians.
