Legislation to make every Australian, 16yrs+, provide ID & real DOB to each social media platform, or use VPN’s to fake they’re in another country, passed in Parliament yesterday.
Cost of living crisis, solved. #Auspol #FuckingFuckheads

WTF.
Purposeless, costly and ridiculous.
If social media - why not ALL media!?
Also this...

Also what about gambling ads on the mainstream media!?
Under 16’s have unfetted access.
Congratulations Rupert & the fashy forces
🙄🙄🙄
Purposeless and pathetic.

But it’s almost like the patriarchy don’t want a person of vision or progress.
Just means I'll be using my VPN all the time & a large number of 14 year olds will be teaching their parents & grandparents about VPNs.
It's nothing to do with improving 'protection & safety' of children.

Netflix, BBC and other bigger sites have long figured out how to ban VPNs during login processes.
#ALP could simply make this unbreakable - require MyGovID or the lack thereof for <15.
I can’t find a single instance of a SM org or big Tech comp. actually paying an Aus Fed gov fine, in the last decade.
They announce these big fines, never mention not one is paid.
They’ve zero control of SM.
They could just have a, click yes/no you’re over 18 .
What motivation do SM giants have to implement these processes for Aus. Gov?
What stick or carrot does Aus. Gov have to get them to do it?
Purposeless, costly and ridiculous.
What a joke all this is.
The whole thing is performative, purposeless, costly horseshit.

Purposeless, costly and ridiculous.
I'll put it here to help you...

#AustraliaHomeOfTheWiltedLettuces
This is a long term sell out of the intellectual Australia, for commercial media and the #MurdochScrags. Vote the scrag out!

When is the VPN legislation due?

Hope everybody's happy
I care about legislation & policies that will actually improve safety anywhere, 95% of experts say this wont.
Nobody's 'happy' - why be passive aggressive at me?
Also this,

This isn't directed at you but those going gangbusters on this knee jerk reaction
I agree with you.
Have a great day 👊💜😊
Housing crisis, cost of living crisis etc can obviously wait till next year to be addressed 🤦♀️
Just means I'll be using my VPN all the time & a large number of 14 year olds will be teaching parents & grandparents about VPNs.
Purposeless, costly and ridiculous.
I'm starting to believe the ALP don't want to be in government.
They would prefer to sit on the opposition benches, claim their generous salary, and not actually be responsible for anything.
Just means I'll be using my VPN all the time & a large number of 14 year olds will be teaching their parents & grandparents about VPNs.
Purposeless, costly and ridiculous.
And as we've seen throughout history - prohibition of anything ALWAYS works well.
Legislation dreamed-up by luddites with zero comprehension of technology, against expert advice.

If the government truely cared about kids, they would look at gambling ads, look at the crap on morning radio.
Albo has chosen this hill to die on
