    Of course one could also make the effort and instead force these platforms to provide actually useful parental supervision,guidance and parental information. But a blanked bann of course is far easier and much more catchy.

    So the 14 year old that moved overseas/away can no longer legally play a game free for 6year and above in a private lobby. Neither can a 12 year old play with his divorced dad living out of state,even when they play a coop without any interaction with third parties.

    All educational resources on YouTube? No longer available. Renowned youth programs from outside Australia? No longer available.

    Even parents who let their kids use responsible to make sure they slowly adapt to social media are now criminalised. Getting your 13 year old a Facebook accounts have full control of so it can be member in two closed groups (local clubs) and chat with relatives? Nope,not possible.

    Technically even using WhatsApp or Matrix can fall under this ban,btw.

    Because it’s wording is so bad.

      1. The sole or primary purpose of the service is to enable online social interaction between two or more end users;
      2. The service allows end users to link to, or interact with, some or all of the other end users;

      The first two rules basically just mean no one can interact. A version of YouTube could exist within these rules.

      1. The service allows end users to post material on the service.

      So that’s basically the Internet. You can’t visit Rotten Tomatoes for film reviews. Maybe you only show the critics score. But aren’t they also end users? How about a newspaper? Newspaper has an opinion section. How many opinion writers can you have?

        All children must now be locked alone in a windowless room and fed via robot until the age of 16 for their own safety. ~/s if that isn’t obvious. But seriously I thought US conservitives were draconian.~
