'Bluesky is too small to be a threat to our children' may be the most depressing thing anyone has said about this site ever.
lol Malcolm Roberts asking why Bluesky is exempted from the social media ban. He claims it could be "political bias" because it is a "left wing hangout" and X is included and it's a "conservative hangout".
eSafety says Bluesky has been assessed as "very low risk" with around 50,000 Australian users

The share of economics papers exploiting the word "exploit" has more than doubled from 24.9% in 2000 to 52.6% in 2025. This is a non-trivial increase.
