Hi. I'm Molk.

I talk about the (AU) media industry a lot & co-run tvblackbox.com.au

I'm a full time Education student (at 51!), husband & dad to 2 young adults.

LEGO is my self-care, & along with TV I love podcasting, smoking meat, riding my motorcycle, & people. Following Jesus is vital to me.

So at almost the last moment, Twitch has been added to the list of age-restricted social media platforms for Australia's #SocialMediaBan for under16s, which is officially active in less than three weeks.

I believe the expression is: 'building the plane while it's flying'.

We’ve informed Twitch that we consider it an age-restricted social media platform in accordance with Australia’s social media minimum age legislation.   Following its own self-assessment, we assessed Twitch as meeting the criteria for an age-restricted social media platform. This is because it has a sole or significant purpose of online social interaction with features designed to encourage user interaction, including through livestreaming content.   Twitch is a platform most commonly used for livestreaming or posting content that enables users, including Australian children, to interact with others in relation to the content posted.   From 10 December age-restricted social media platforms will be required to take reasonable steps to prevent under 16s from having accounts on their platform.   We’ve published our views on whether some platforms will be age-restricted social media platforms to provide additional certainty for Australian families and industry.    But we expect all online platforms that operate in Australia to assess their obligations under Australian law. We’ve provided an assessment tool to help them understand if they’re required to comply with the social media minimum age and remain in ongoing discussions with industry about compliance obligations.   Learn more about the upcoming social media age restrictions on our website: https://lnkd.in/gtn4aE_c

This is some kind of lobbyist-induced bullshit.

Gambling ruins lives. It is absolutely unacceptable that the Albanese government will continue to choose vested interests over the wellbeing of Australians and hide behind a watered-down policy - if they ever introduce one. We need action on gambling harms now.
