It's popular in Australia according to polling even though you'd never guess that based on sampling opinions about it from social media.

Credibly fixing both social media and cost of living would be an effective platform across the West.





> It's popular in Australia according to polling

depends on how or who you poll. I dont think it is popular. It's just that there's a lot of stigma when you try to argue against "saving the children" type policy - which is why this gets used to pass laws that otherwise would be difficult to pass if the true intentions were revealed.

> Credibly fixing

"credibly" is carrying a lot of weight here.


The polls I've seen show banning social media for under 16s has 70-74% support in Australia and the UK, with about 20% opposed.

What polls are you looking at?
