Good luck with that one!

lol, VPN’s will require Age Verification next, then VPN-VPN’s then the VPN-VPN-VPN lol. Your laws fix nothing and strangle free speech.
Hahahaha these private school career politicians are all performance and no substance.
Meta won’t even go after people for harassing and attacking others, they really expect them to go after VPN users?
Good luck with that
They should check with China to see how well this works
Goooooood luck!
They know it won’t happen. The people in power also want to outlaw VPN.
Australian educator here. As someone who had to explain the ban to students, I will add to this conversation:
…good luck with that.
I see two chances of that happening: No way, and no how.
Giving up freedom to protect children is just giving up freedom. If parents can’t raise children it doesn’t matter what laws you pass.
You already need a credit card to subscribe to a vpn. This is such a nonissue.
>Alternatively, social media platforms could roll out deep packet inspection (DPI) technology to analyze internet traffic data and identify VPN-specific fingerprints.
This works because VPN protocols like OpenVPN and WireGuard have distinct features, meaning VPN traffic looks different to standard web traffic.
Lmao that’s not how it works. Social media platforms can’t do anything besides identifying the IP address as VPN-bound because traffic reaching a social media site has the same shape VPN or not. The only telltale sign is the IP address ASN which may belong to a datacenter provider.
The only thing that can be done besides asking platforms to block address ranges is packet inspection at a service provider level (your internet provider), which is borderline chinese great firewall tactics and its so pervasive there’s no fucking way it would fly in an allegedly free country.
Crazy idea. Maybe start with working on parents.
That’s like banning kids from buying gas because it is illegal for them to drive
How?
Technically impossible. There is virtually no way for a website to know the real location of someone using a VPN. The only solution would be to ban all VPN traffic entirely, and they will never willingly do that.
These laws are basically legislative virtue-signaling.
Hahahahaha, are gov all computer scientists? they dont even know what they talking lol
Damn it, Australia and the EU are doing way too much. In a few years, I‘ll be connecting to a Chinese VPN, to get at least a little bit of freedom
It won’t work, it has never worked, and it will never work. Stop ruining other people’s privacy by trying to „pRoTEcT ThE cHiLDreN!!!“
Banning never works. People (teenagers especially) will always find a way.
Criminal residential proxy services will reap the benefits of this one.
So instead of legislating social media to have less bigotry and addictive algorithms, we’ll go for the prohibition approach?
Prohibition always works
When people making laws are absolutely clueless…
Everyone in here is talking about how it’s infeasible to comply with this law, but maybe that’s not the goal. Maybe the goal is collecting fines for doing business and having “hand” over private enterprise.
Australia’s great piracy site ban was defeated by changing your dns to 1.1.1.1
Cage those Aussies.
Don’t see how they can do it, as they don’t want to block users arriving from other countries using VPNs.
How does the company know if the person is Australian or American just because it is arriving from a VPN IP from Denmark?
