I don't know what it's like in Australia, but here in the USA the large websites write laws like that specifically to prevent competition from small websites.
Better make an octopus Facebook group instead.
Yes, big companies have lobbying which makes rules basically horrible for small companies.
The Megacorps don’t mind “red tape” because all they have to do is hire a lawyer and bribe the right people but small companies suffer the actual consequences.
Ie. In the country I live in, if I want to sell chicken eggs from my backyard chickens, I need to submit 3 forms that are basically impossible to without hiring a lawyer every YEAR, and pay for an inspection check every 2 years which costs a lot. That kind of environment which applies to basically any action a company wants to do makes it impossible for anyone but mid-large companies to do things.
