Yes, a sewer with a confluence of some potable water and raw sewage.

Australia just passed a useless, ineffectual social media ban on under 16s. Other nations should follow our great example

Won't work. Not enforceable. Tech companies will do the bare minimum to police it. " Click this to confirm you are over 18"

Ridiculous and unworkable idea.

And how is that supposed to be enforced?

Wow.
Seriously?
You run an editorial demonising trans people in a way that led to her daughter's death, and demanding her daughter be called a man; then pretend like you give a sh*t?
What is wrong with you?

Children learn Hate at home and then from Peers

Anyone allowing their child access to the Internet without supervision is a poor parent

Horrific

Exactly. It is education and understanding responsibility we need here, not isolating kids from their friends and their tribes.
Aaargh. Taking no interest or notice in educating your kids and supporting them through to find groovy places to hang out is a combo of ignorance and negligence.
