Knowing these social media companies track record, I doubt they will be in a rush to fix it
I also doubt the Government will be pushing for them to fix those issues since it’s clear that they want to leave enforcement up to the companies and act like everything will be fine.
It’s probably easy to bypass right? Maybe with a VPN?
Parrents need to start parrenting again. There is a net sum of 0 children that need access to social media, and the people responsible for their kids upbringing are the parrents. This new laws main power is making it clear that SOME + kids = bad, not the physical implementation of guardrails. As a parrent in Australia, with a brain, you can now tell any other parrents who say “ oh but if we dont give kids complete digital freedom and expose then to pedos and mental issue fuel, they will be left out “ to fuck off.
It’s been 1 day
I guess it’s the same today, but when I was 16 some of my friends were pre-pubescent and others already had a full beard and were balding, and some girls were already onto their second baby and looked the same age as our parents. It seems a very hard age to automatically categorise, regardless of technological classification techniques.
The law gives a calendrical stipulation for age, whilst biology defies such a measure.
