The funny thing is, as soon as you complain about this sort of thing, you draw attention to it. Better to ignore such remarks. I got called names at school now and again, as I think we all did from time to time, but it didn't destroy my life and send me over the edge.

Sticks and stones, and all that.

However its not, its designed to allow the government to control everyones access to the internet, and more specifically, control the "social media giants". They dont care how useless or impractical it is, just as long as they "do something".
In this country protective legislation applies to everyone, regardless of whether we personally like them or not.
