They shouldn't be doing stupid things like hosting anything important on Facebook.

I have zero sympathy for Australia's inability to elect competent government.

They signed up for free services like every other chump on the planet, with the same terms of service, with the same naive, zero-fucks-given attitude toward privacy, service continuity, or responsibility, and it bit them in the ass while highlighting their stupidity. This story is going to get repeated over and over until western governments catch up to social media.
