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!

    I agree with you wholeheartedly about c.

    All over the world governments are doing fuck all about rampant disinformation and destabilization from foreign actors with ill intent while ratcheting up attempts to spy on their own citizens.

    A competent governments focus would be on stopping this bullshit from happening, not putting the screws to their own citizens.

    While it could be argued that I’d verification would lessen or eliminate foreign actors on social media platforms, I doubt that argument would hold water when the reality of it all sets in.
