Be careful when posting comments on Stuff.
I just posted a comment on Stuff about the number of rather silly people on our roads. I used the term 'idiots' and got a message back from Stuff saying I have used inappropriate language. I changed 'idiots' to 'dreamers' and it got through. However the term 'idiots' and 'dreamers' really have different meanings in the context I used it. So what term could I have used instead of 'idiots' to convey a sense of 'stupid' ?
Censorship is alive and doing well in New Zealand. Is Stuff now owned and operated by Youtube ? Or is this the new woke of not being allowed to use descriptive words where they are needed ?
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
