Ever since I heard many years ago that 47% of Australians are functionally illiterate (2012), I just can't shake the thought that this may be a big reason why we keep ending up with this government. It's now 1 in 8 Australians who are functionally illiterate. That means they get all their news from what's said on TV/radio - they can read but don't, when they do read their comprehensive capabilities are not great, they're not stupid but being able to critically assess information for bias or scrutinise multiple news providers for agenda/hyperbole is impaired... let's face it - literacy skills are more important today than they've ever been. We're a society saturated in media, more so than any other time in history. To be able to navigate the mediascape these days, competent literacy skills are a must, as is the ability to think critically. Add to that how disengaged many are (in politics, currents)... it's no wonder we are where we are. Most of the population is distracted just trying to get by, scrabbling to make ends meet while those at the top do not give a f*ck. And unless you're paying attention (and those of us that are are miserable fucks, often suffering severely with mental health issues like depression/anxiety), you just don't know this shit. No-one is going to tell you, except those that are telling you - and who wants to listen to those depressed fucks? (I say this as a depressed/anxious fuck myself - I've been screaming THE SKY IS FALLING so hard and for so long, even I don't want to hear myself anymore). Shitty situation all round - although, I am truly hopeful that Scummo's blatant disregard for us, as visible and obvious as it is, will finally shunt these bastards off a cliff.

[@benevolentnick1]

@@JesseRay89 the 2006 earth summit had everyone sign up for over 600bilion in carbon revenues. So all early adopters got screwed. Hence why the ETS framework fell through. As with Gillard she was installed cause her carbon tax was deemed so much better than Rudds. It says it all that her scheme is given as the 'reason'. We are at under 350partpermillion of carbon dioxide. The earth has experienced multiple times 100s greater concentrations. Each time its gone above 3500ppm we get trees turning into fruit trees. That we all enjoy. With co2 we would never have had a lemon tree in your backyard or any other fruit. The real issue is the changing of the base chemical reactions. I.e to much PH. Crazy to think that one of nature great balancers of this horror show is plants growing/evolving with greater co2 concentrations that could solve these issue, easier. But whoa its the one thing we are taxing. Restricting.

The social media companies became publishers when they started making editorial decisions. Think "fact checking" as an example.

[@schuhey7021]

@@Matt-re8bt i agree that it shouldnt be topic specific, they should either fact check everything or nothing, but i still don’t believe that makes them a publisher, it might make them more like a publisher, but its not as simple as that, and even if that is the direction they are going, it is much to soon to treat them as such, especially if the outcome is giving the government the power to coerce your details from a company for the purpose of suing you into financial ruin Far reaching ability for politicians to wield their superior income as a weapon means eternal suppression of dissidence from the poorest citizens.

[@Matt-re8bt]

@@schuhey7021 Fact checking was an example, but we both know there are plenty of other examples where social media make decisions on content that is not illegal. Even if we stick with just the fact checking for the sake of conversation, it's a form of editorialisation. The moment they make editorial decisions is the moment they move from a carriage service (ie we just provide a means of communication and take no responsibility on content other than with a court order) to a moderated platform. They then take responsibility for *ALL* content. In terms of revealing personal information, I could not agree more. You are completely completely correct. Just look at the misuse the metadata laws has experienced. Unconscionable. My point is just that social media platforms can't play both sides of the argument. They're either a carriage service (like your mobile provider) where they just facilitate conversations and obey takedown laws as received, or they are a publisher where they take an active interest in the content. They can't have it both ways.
