anyway there is a clear throughline scorched indelibly across our political landscape now from "mainstream media decides something is bad" -> "Australian Labor Party is terrified of negative media coverage because it only has one election strategy and that is to be as small a target as possible" -> "legislation is introduced to parliament" and we should all be pretty mad about that
-
also the real reason that politicians think social media needs to be regulated is that they hate being publicly and immediately called "fucking useless dipshits" by any random person who doesn't need to own a newspaper - not because of anything to do with young developing minds, or child abusers, or whatever, and literally nobody will ever convince me otherwise

@burgerdrome ALP and LNP are both terrified of young people and cannot understand media that’s not owned by millionaire conservative donors.
Poor darlings, they’ve seen whippersnappers like Max Chandler-Mather now and they realise that they don’t like it up ‘em.

@burgerdrome I think users should be able to choose their algorithm and the code should be public and comparable with test data, not just your own feed test
