I seldom get opportunity to express that If You're Listening series is an outstanding piece of journalism. I might not always agree with them, but I always appreciate the differing viewpoints. The key is letting the viewers form their own opinions rather than be a sheep to mass media narratives.

You’re a truly good and decent man, Matt Bevan.

Virtual town squares have more village idiots per capita than the bricks and mortar type

It takes a bit to pull yourself out, but after a while you really won't want to go back. I left Twitter as soon as it was rebranded, and Facebook at the start of 2025. I'm happy with Bluesky right now because it does feel much more respectable (except for the odd comment).

Here is the kicker: freedom of speech has its limits, just like everything else. America is introducing their own version of freedom of speech that supports their agenda, and so does Australia. Platforms are caught in the crossfire, but it seems that they pro American view more than Australian view. Is it time for Australia to develop their own alternative to X, YouTube, facebook, Instagram and so on? Nothing really would stop us from doing so.

Thanks Matt, i'm glad you have comments turned on. Just so I can tell you it's refreshing to watch good journalism.

Wait, we can comment? Is there any international collaboration possible? The EU is usually quite keen on on protecting their citizens. An Aus-NZ-CAN-EU international alliance against the techbro's would be quite powerful to compel them. Also, I'm all for a public owned "social network", take money out of the equation.

You can't violate free speech principles because some people who occupy the town square have unpleasant views. Plenty of people find opposing views unpleasant to them, it's too arbitrary a standard and will be prone to the personal biases of whoever holds the power at the time.
@EverythingCameFromNothing
We need a town square where only those whose identity is verified is allowed so all contributors posts are held accountable
@frankiedehockie
Free Speech needs to be regulated. Especially in these days.
