Extraordinary times. I was estimating that we (Australia) were generally five years behind the United States of America. I now believe that that gap is closing. I am aware that there are people I know who effectively vote for Trumpism in Australia. |

Who defines social media? Given that GovCo has laws restricting sex, alcohol & drug use, all of which seem to be largely ineffective with teenagers, what do they hope to achieve by limiting access to social media? And how? What do you consider "Trumpism" to be?

Why do you think they are doing that? Do you believe the government actually want to protect vulnerable children? Or is it more likely they want everyone to register for a digital id? |

Why is it that we can't avoid posts on politics?
Come on guys, stay within the T's & C's! Facebook and Reddit are good for posting crap!

Yes, we are governed by politicians, which affects everyone, but this site is not the platform for political discussions.
As per the AFF Terms & Conditions (in part): The site is provided mainly for the benefit of those wishing to discuss vehicle related matters (not exclusively Ford ones) but an area is provided (called the BAR) for other non automotive related discussion that is of general interest to the community. This is NOT a free for all area and posts that either don't meet the criteria listed below or which are deemed to be unduly trivial in nature may be removed at the discretion of the moderation team. In short, the following things are not permitted: 1. Posts about or containing references to: religion, race, politics, sensitive or controversial subjects except at the discretion of the admin team. 2. Posts that are (or could reasonably be considered to be): defamatory, threatening, invasive of privacy, or which otherwise violate any law applicable within Australia. 3. Posts that are disrespectful or insulting to another forum member. Remember that everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as it is expressed in a reasoned manner. Yes, I've allowed a bit go by as passing comments, but then when it starts to dominate discussions on multiple threads, I've got to remind everyone where the line is.
