5 days agoI can’t understand how someone hasn’t explained to them that it’s impossible to enforce. I can only see two possible ways:
-
Require every social media platform operating in Australia to do rigorous ID checks on all users to ensure no-one is under the legal age, or
-
Somehow lock down the whole Australian internet so that users must login and then validate the identity, and therefore age, of all users. Then maintain a huge filter table to restrict under age users from social media.
Both of these are clearly never going to happen. Have I missed a simpler way to do it?
It might be expensive, but still worth a short visit. I’ve got a shockingly bad memory, but I’ll never forget the awe I felt waking up to a view of the Alps.
