Well a common need, based on the suggestions of creating entertaining media (where's that damn silicon beach distributed database when you need it!), raising awareness, and writing letters - is compelling content and arguments on why this matters. So maybe as a group we can start coming to consensus on why this matters. The more reasons and evidence we have, the better armed we are to do all the above and make an impact. Send in your facts, technical explanations, cultural interpretations, insider insights as they come to you. After a few days of robust discussion, that will give us more than enough material for a editor or producer to create something, Who wants to start? I will I suppose. Starting with language. As a very wise man said[1], "Linguistics shape your thought: Think about it: "Clean Feed" = "censored feed" which implies "Dirty Feed = what we have now". So I wish to start calling this something else, and indeed, a side benefit of coining our own name apart from reshaping the debate is it will show objectively what influence social media has in Australia. I want to associate negative images with this policy. Dirty can't be used because it invokes the current term currently. Filthy has potential. Big Brother? The 1984 feed? The $114million feed? The Stalin feed?
