Makes sense!
If the #socialmediaban can ensure kids don't have accounts, surely they could, instead, focus on those sharing/producing harmful content.
Fix the problem...not those effected by it.

The horrific murders of Hannah Clarke and her children stunned Australia. Could they have been saved?
Exclusive: A two-year Guardian investigation reveals new details about the critical final weeks of Clarke’s life, casting doubt on the coroner’s finding that nothing more could have been done to preve...

How many red flags do we allow a man to have?

Thomas Sewell is a very dangerous man. That he can turn up threatening the premier two days after being filmed attacking Camp Sovereignty and he still isn't arrested is quite something.
Neo-Nazis gatecrash premier’s press conference
Jacinta Allan and Treasurer Jaclyn Symes were forced to flee a press conference when neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell appeared and shouted at them.

Barbaric behaviour...seriously 😢 🪶
I keep my cats indoors or in a #catio to protect these and other wildlife. But let's just let the humans out and at 'em. Sad.

🚨 BREAKING: Turtle-dove hunting season reopens!
The EU Commission just gave the green light for EU countries to resume the hunt for European Turtle-doves, ending a 3-year pause.
This is reckless, short-sighted and will take this bird back to the brink.
