But then how will Bluey video call his grandparents??? /j
Can’t wait to see how these geniuses plan on implementing this.
The only way I see that’d be possible is by requiring state id for it which is just mass surveillance.
Australia Card 2025 here we come! I expect better from the Labor party, this is some Scott Morrison grade shit right here.
They tell the platforms to implement it and fine them for not doing it
Haha the platforms will implement a disclaimer which will achieve 5/8ths of fuck all
Ok. Smaller platforms like this here lemmy server don’t do anything because it’s expensive, or they are ethically opposed. They have no business in Australia and fines can’t be collected. Australian kids (and adults who want to be anonymous, or don’t like the government-mandated changes) flock to these platforms.
What now?
It gets banned/blocked, or sued for noncompliance for allowing Australian users without age verification. They’ll play whack a mole for decades, just like they have been for P2P file sharing.
Like a lot of post-911 legislation, it’s anti-privacy surveillance disguised as a way to ‘protect the children’. It’s absolute shit and we should absolutely be taking measures to anonymize our open source social media platforms further.

Some differences to that, though.
-
Downloaders can be prosecuted. That raises the question of what happens to kids or their parents who use non-compliant sites.
-
Blocked servers are inaccessible to adults, too, which raises freedom of information issues. These servers don’t contain illegal information, after all.
-
Large scale piracy is illegal pretty much everywhere, meaning that the industry can go after the operators and get the servers offline. Not so here.
-
Pube measurements.
Totally going to get rid of the paedofiles …

Youtube is social media? What?
Always has been.
How? How are people using youtube that makes it social media?
There’s no editorial process, anyone can post anything (within the TOS).
A lot of people use it for personal vlogs and such. It might be easier to ask how it’s meaningfully different from something like tiktok that makes it not social media.
There’s a comments section on most videos, and even the nature of users uploading videos, often in response to each other, is social media as much as it is making art and entertainment.
