I feel it can be said, without "conspiracy" or paranoia, that there's a widespread will to bury all activity around this bill.

Government doesn't want it debated or scrutinised. Tech companies want it to go away. The media doesn't understand it and cannot communicate the issues. People are scared or too pre-polarised to take a position. It's been kicked into the long grass by 4 prime-ministers. Even mentioning here that it is complex and worth examining both sides gets one down-voted to hell (judging by my other comment).



That "other comment" of yours did nothing of the sort. You merely stated "it's something we strongly support" without further elaboration or explanation.
