i cbf going into it more but this is an obvious attempt forced on the australian population to "save the children" in a creepy, intrusive way will that negatively impact every age group. i don't want to have to verify my age like this

this ban is more than just preventing under 16s from facebook and instagram. it's also cutting off vulnerable, isolated, and marginalised youth from accessing support systems. it could also force kids to access risky, unregulated online spaces that aren't covered by the ban, or lie about their age

aw thanks!! ^_^
