With the ban going into effect, I thought it might be helpful to allow people to share their experiences about the Australian teen social media ban and how it has affected them.
Note: For the Aussie Zone lemmy requirements, see here. Please use that thread for an Aussie Zone specific discussions or questions.
Good luck, everyone!
Honestly, considering the commission’s guidance actually specifically says the sites are supposed to take into account these workarounds, I think discussing them should be fair game. If nothing else, in the name of transparency and of calling out uncompliant sites.
OK, I shall remove that part of the topic 👍
Let the whack-a-mole begin!
Heck, I can’t find anything in the legislation or the legislative instrument that prohibits explicitly assisting children in circumventing the restriction. And I even heard one interview yesterday where they pretty specifically said “yeah, some kids will get around it. They won’t get in legal trouble for it. Only the platforms themselves can get in trouble if it’s too easy to get around”.
