Just because Australia is first doesn't mean it's not our problem too. This affects all of us. Here's what I wrote to UNICEF Australia (@unicef.org.au).

And to organisations like @coe.int, @youthforum.bsky.social, @fra.europa.eu: Please, wake up. Start doing your job properly. The fact that so many people don't even know we have these rights proves that you aren't being loud enough. Be better. Be louder. Fight for us.

If you can't make your spaces safe for us, then maybe you shouldn't be running them at all. It really is that simple.

To the people who own the platforms and websites: You need to realise you have a "duty of care." In places like the UK and Europe, laws like the Online Safety Act and the Digital Services Act essentially say you must look after the children on your sites.

To all adults: It is your job to teach us how to be safe online, not just to lock us out. That goes for parents, schools, and all of you. It is a shared responsibility to show us how to handle the digital world, not hide it from us.

It says we have the right to freedom of expression and to find and share information "through any media of the child's choice." That includes the internet and social media. Banning us actually goes against our rights.
