When I was seeing the posts like this happening in America/Minnesota, I think to myself, "what would I do? Would I risk my record/job to stand up for my neighbour?

I'm not in Sydney, and I don't think this will happen in The Outback, but its something to think about...

    Fuck

    I have an ex-coworker. Devout Muslim. Amazingly hard worker. (We worked in fast food. Late to night shift. Dinner rush. I remember chatting to him, and he didn't eat during his meal break because of Ramadan. Boss was nice enough to give him a break at the right time to let him eat). I would 100% stake my reputation to help him because I know his name and personality

    But when it came to the under 16s social media ban, I will be 100% honest, I didn't care. I'm over 16. Everyone I know is over 16. I didn't help fight for the under 16s.

    Now its passed, and I see a couple twitch channels gone, I wished I could have done something...

    TL;DR, I like to think I will be the hero, but I'm 110% a coward...

    I hope I can grow a spine and learn my lesson soon.
