Have you considered that a ban from Australia may simply help Australians?

Also, Australia implemented a social media ban for under 16's which has paved the way for other countries to do the same.

The world needs to send a clear message. Idiocracy was never supposed to be a documentary. Executions are not entertainment.

I agree with all of that, but check out how successful that social media ban has been. It was poorly thought out and rushed through against the advice of all the experts, and is pretty easily circumvented.

The only thing I have any agency over is my own actions. Banned or not, the choice is still ours.
