What they didn’t mention is the other small forums that won’t require age verification:

4chan.org

stormfront (Neo Nazis)

KiwiFarms (facilitates stalking and harrassment)

But thanks for stopping kids getting on Facebook Australian government!

    There’s a really simple solution to this that e-safety refuses to consider. Let anyone make an account but limit public interaction until age is verified. That way they could apply the ban to everything from Reddit and 4chan all the way to Steam and Github without major disruption (well, maybe with Github it’d be a bit disruptive).

    And while they’re at it they should do something about algorithmic brain rot.
