I’m prevented from answering your question.

There is at least one large British arms manufacturer that supplies them.

OK grandpa, time for a nap.

Mate, computers are magic to most people.

Much like yourself.

Not sure what you’re on about, but I think my BlueSky experience will be better without you.

I didn’t realise there were so many people and organisations with histories in pro tennis.

In what way is it a pun?

“Slammed”? What is this juvenile language?

You make it sound so simple.

Large global corporations, motivated only by profit and power, deciding what people across diverse cultures are allowed to say, with no appreciation of the context in which they say it.

Sounds fabulous.

And I’m sure the Liberals are enormously grateful for everything this is doing to further contribute to their recent electoral success, especially with young women.

Switching off the big platforms is an opportunity for enormous creativity. I look forward to seeing what grows in their absence. 6/6

I do think the large social media platforms have become extremely detrimental forces in the world, especially for young people. I think we need to get back to the early promise of the Internet 5/

However, as I reached adolescence, in a world and school and family environments that were actively hostile towards me, the online world, even back then, allowed me to find solace that there were other people like me. 4/

Things were different back then, and I was safe. I absolutely would not allow any child in my care to wander the online world unsupervised these days. 3/

I was horrendously bullied at school, and my parents weren’t great, but I was was clever, and I threw myself into the emerging world of home computers. I bought myself a modem in 1984, when I was eight years old. 2/

I’m an Australian man who turned 50 last week.

I grew up in suburban Sydney.

At my parents urging, I tried riding a bike, and I resisted playing footy.

What I really needed for my wellbeing was people to talk to about what made me different, and I found that online. 1/
