Stop calling it an under 16 ban

it's age verification for fucking everyone

and the best part is Albo is losing preferred prime minister polls to a fucking potato because of this nonsense

Can't wait to see how these geniuses plan on implementing this.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 16 points 8 months ago (2 children)

They tell the platforms to implement it and fine them for not doing it

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 8 points 8 months ago

Haha the platforms will implement a disclaimer which will achieve 5/8ths of fuck all

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] archomrade@midwest.social 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

They’ll play whack a mole for decades, just like they have been for P2P file sharing.

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.

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.

[–] Longmactoppedup@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

Ha. Better from Labor? When it comes to digital rights they are terrible just like the liberal party.

Labor rubber stamped the libs meta data retention and secret software backdoors legislation.

This one is up there with the 2009 Krudd / Conroy clean feed.

Youtube is social media? What?

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] atro_city@fedia.io -2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

How? How are people using youtube that makes it social media?

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] archomrade@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago

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.
