MODERATORS
Jesus Christ this whole thing is such an undemocratic farce. When the bill was presented before Parliament, we (as well as *the Members of Parliament who voted to pass this) were specifically told that it would not apply to YouTube.
So they've rushed it through Parliament without giving the public time to provide proper feedback or even giving themselves time to properly consider the feedback that was given. They passed it without having any clear idea of how it would work in practice, and by the sounds of it so far that's basically because it won't work. And now we find out that the Government pushed the Parliament to pass it by lying about its scope.
Every single thing about this is completely fucked.
That's so epic I fuckin love politicians. They ain't outta touch at all
