The Australian senator clearly can't believe what she's hearing: "Did you say that an account who shares *repeated* shares of this type of material will have their accounts suspended?"

Here's a clip from today's hearing where the Twitter exec explains why sharing child sexual abuse material isn't an automatic ban. And then an Australian senator explains why that's idiotic. forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2…

There’s an extremely loud 30% of the country that’s pro-Trump, anti-choice, and anti-trans. They’ve convinced a lot of people they’re half the country but they’re not. They’re 30%.

Once again, the anti-trans shit is not working for GOP at all. Which is why it's even more disgusting that various centrists urged retreat on issue.
