Going online without understanding the basics of how the internet works is like getting behind the wheel without knowing the road rules: you might still get where you’re going, but you could be a danger to yourself and those around you.
Using the internet is now a daily activity for most Australians. Yet, the number of people who actually understand the internet’s mechanics is small. Government and schools do work to promote cyber security and cyber safety, but the message is still not getting widespread attention.
Ultimately there is only so much that government or businesses can do to keep us safe online. At a certain point, we need to take personal responsibility and educate ourselves about how to use the internet safely.

We would need politicians that take responsibility to keep their long uninformed fingers away from issues where they have no clue or just try to abuse the situation for irrational opinion gains. And the general public seems uneducatable on personal responsibility and getting a clue.

I think the most important thing to note there is that, in Indiana of all places, somebody was able to talk some sense into lawmakers. Sadly their willingness to accept knowledge has long since vanished.
When it reached the Indiana Senate, the bill was not treated so kindly, for Waldo had coached the senators previously.
