It wanted to win some quick easy PR.

This is what baffles me. I may be out of touch, but I haven't seen a single response in support of the thing. Seems more like a big PR fail to me.

Not seen any of the polling, the comments under politicians' Facebook posts about it, or heard interviews on the ABC? It most definitely is a very popular policy. Unfortunately, that's mostly because of a lack of understanding of the nuance. They just see "social media = bad for kids, therefore this bill that says it's going to stop that must be good".

I guess I am out of touch then.
