The law will make platforms including TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram liable for fines of up to $33 million for failures to prevent kids from holding accounts.
I don’t see Hexbear on the list. Time to radicalize some Aussie kids.
That’s probably the goal but I have a feeling it’ll backfire and kids will find their way to places like this or they’ll just learn how to use VPNs to get around the ban.
They will end up in far worse regulated dark parts of the internet. This has nothing to do with protecting the children. Kinda like how america’s PATRIOT act was one of the least patriotic bits of legislation to ever pass at that point in time.
They want all australians to have to prove their real identities to use the internet.
On the plus side every time they try to make something happen with the internet hundreds of thousands of people end up with their data stolen. Wait that’s not a plus.
Anyway go ahead, drive them off the internet and into the streets. That’ll work out well for them heheheh.
That’s a good point, though. Maybe a positive unintended consequence—young people never misbehaved before the internet. We could return to that golden era.

Not in plain sight, anyways, if they could help it.
