So are we actually gonna put a stop to this shit now? We gave them an inch now they've taken a mile, surely we aren't just going to let them keep going. And yes I know about the VPN/TOR workaround, but I think that's besides the point. This shit is dystopian, how come we're letting all these Karens control and basically spy on us? Why do I have to upload my passport to search for some hentai? Why is it my responsibility to protect some other cunt's child? Fuck this nanny state shithole.
>The Albanese government trumpeted the passage of its legislation banning under 16s from social media – which will come into effect in December – but new industry codes developed by the tech sector and eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant under the Online Safety Act will probably have much larger ramifications for how Australians access the internet.
>Measures to be deployed by online services could include looking at your account history, or using facial age assurance and bank card checks. Identity checks using IDs such as drivers licences to keep children under 16 off social media will also apply to logged-in accounts for search engines from December, under an industry code that came into force at the end of June.
>The code will require search engines to have age assurance measures for all accounts, and where an account holder is determined to be aged under 18, the search engine would be required to switch on safe search features to filter out content such as pornography from search results.
>Six more draft codes being considered by the eSafety commissioner would bring similar age assurance measures to a wide range of services Australians use every day, including app stores, AI chatbots and messaging apps.
