That's an interesting shift, giving up on defending this law since it's clearly not justifiable, to saying oh well these people deserve it anyway. That's not how laws are supposed to work in a democracy.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoIf you don't live in Australia, these aren't your laws to vote for. If you do, your representatives enacted these laws. If you support these laws, congratulations, if you do not, call your representatives or run for office. There are large deltas in electorate sentiment across the world; different democracies will advocate for and legislate different laws. I support the spirit of this legislation (content being compensated for its value on platforms), but also believe these specific corporations deserve it based on their exploitative actions & intent, and resources available to them [1]. My apologies if that wasn't properly communicated throughout my comments. [1] https://www.google.com/search?q=regulate+big+tech https://www.google.com/search?q=regulate+big+tech
