I agree it’s a little fear mongering - sure - but as the new CER draft is written its not a fallacy.
It’s just a matter of making this information consumable by a normal citizen, and not people in the industry/know.
How do we do this?
I will repeat, the ads are not fallacy AS OF TODAY. The federal government is taking consultation from industry right now for the CER, but they’re being very stubborn.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
