What they didn’t mention is the other small forums that won’t require age verification:
stormfront (Neo Nazis)
KiwiFarms (facilitates stalking and harrassment)
But thanks for stopping kids getting on Facebook Australian government!

Ok so 4chan is exempt as a “small forum” but they want to ban under sixteens from using GitHub, Steam, and YouTube Kids.
First one is a Website for developing software, second is a game store and the third is LITERALLY YOUTUBE PURGED OF ADULT CONTENT AND THE COMMENT FEATURE TURNED OFF!
Do these people actually look at the things they want to ban.
4chan isn’t exempt. They’re simply refusing to comply. Frankly, I see their perspective. If Qatar introduced some law that required us to do this, we’d ignore it (if we even knew about it). What are they going to do?
We are complying because we are 100% in Australia. We run this little project as a side gig and can’t risk our careers by becoming a potential example for other forums. You can’t do the sort of IT work we do with a criminal record.
