At least in our country our political system is not
deeply flawed. We don't have a large insane
over-reaching extremist element that has a great deal
of influence (as we saw under the Trump administration in
the US), and our courts are not completely loony.

Rather than doing anything to stop the downwards slide, Morrison has shown that he intends to ramp up the crisis by introducing legislation requiring Facebook to identify anonymous posters guilty of trolling or bullying. Who would decide what is trolling or bullying wasn't mentioned; but Barnaby Joyce and Rowan Dean did a whining duet on the things said about the former online when he was publicly making a fool of himself during a discussion on the plan. Not a big stretch, in my opinion, to suspect that censoring of comments on the political class is on the horizon.

The legislation would include the '100 points of ID' rigmarole to get a Facebook account. No other social media was mentioned, but .....

If Facebook, or whoever, doesn't come clean with an ID of a poster allegedly bullying or trolling, whatever that entails, Facebook or whoever will have to face the music.

'100 points of ID' rigmarole
ttbn,
Well, considering we have to deal with millions of Paul1405's & Foxy's what other options are there to put a stop to the hypocricy of the society that had it too easy for too long ?

This entire "Facebook" legislation is merely a diversion.
It's not going to work. It's a distraction because the
government is dragging its feet in putting an
anti-corruption commission in place. They know that this
"Facebook" furphy is not going to work. It's an election ploy
to distract from prioritizing the anti-corruption commission
which was promised at the last election and did not eventuate.

Fixy,
If they did put an anti-corruption in place they'd need to shut down much of the Public Service !

Foxy,

It is difficult when Labor refuses to back the legislation and is blocking it in the senate. Clearly, Labor doesn't want the scrutiny.
