Collective Shout, a small but vocal lobby group, has long called for a mandatory internet filter that would prevent access to adult content for everyone in Australia. Its director, Melinda Tankard Reist, was recently appointed to the stakeholder advisory board for the government’s age assurance technology trial before the under-16s social media ban comes into effect in Australia in December.

Keep the pressure on.

Collective Shout got them to change their position and they're a small group. We are legion, as the kids say

And we're the ones spending the money

That's really what I don't get. Why make it impossible for people to give you money. That doesn't seem to be the way capitalism is supposed to operate if something is popular then you should allow it.

That's something we all have to remember. We have to be just as vocal as these idiots or they take over. They are not the majority, they are only the most vocal.
