    Unfortunately you’re correct but so far we Australians have made it loud and clear that trumpism isn’t wanted here by the majority. There are more than enough cookers here as it is.

      for the record, it’s not just the US turning to fascism. lots of places are going that way, even if we’re ahead of the curve. Australia is… less so than most, so yeah, I’ll celebrate that much with you… but… please stay vigilant.

      You are locking down the internet though. Cultibating a masterbaterbase and connecting ip and likeness where lower level government, hackers, groups can also access everything you have done online.

      You are heading to the same place unless you get a populist reform alternative to status quo plutocracy polits of both parties to be supplanted with far right running as reform with help from the us, russia, and their constellations of super rich ideologue pricks.

        We’re locking down social media. I don’t want my kids anywhere near it so I don’t really worry about that.

        The fear mongering about it is high though but if you read the details it’s not that bad. Just don’t use Google or apple. Find new search engines and don’t use social media. Social media is not exactly a necessity

          In keeping the kids off of social media you are connecting everyone’s IP to their face and or ID however. Probably in a way that not only these lower level political politicians would have access to it and not just the National Security types, but that would also make it vulnerable to organized groups like hackers and foreign intelligence agencies.

          Do you really think this is about protecting the kids?

      Well Lachlan Murdoch just won control of his father’s media empire, get ready for some heavy doses of propaganda and Sky News to take the obnoxious levels up to eleven.
