I'm right on the older limit of zoomer. I understand perfectly and think it would be a good idea to ban it. But I also think every privacy destroying social media app should be shut down.

Would you be more in favor of the government shutting down privacy-averse social media companies or simply regulating them? In either case, why?

I think the Australian government should bring in a GDPR set of laws. To me it seems that the GDPR has improved the internet globally. So many sites added in automated data export tools and ways to opt out of tracking.

Companies not following these laws should be fined or if the fine is unenforceable they should be banned from doing business in the country.
