Australian Senate, last sitting of the year. No idea when the Social Media Ban debate is kicking off.

If anyone's keen, feel free to give a live run-down of anything interesting in this thread.

(sorry about all the edits, just trying to get a decent thumbnail: elevated photo of the Australian Senate)

The info is still really vague but seemed to so far apply to big platforms like reddit and facebook and X - however my info might be outdated by now.

Then again it could be that the fines for non compliance and verification charges might also apply to smaller platforms with less available funding than the big companies, and push them under.

The info I’ve been reading seems to be inconsistent and sometimes even conflict. And yeah, could be outdated by now
