I don’t see Hexbear on the list. Time to radicalize some Aussie kids.
cowards
it should be banned for under 60
Over 60 too, but also under 60
Australia has a history of dumb “somebody think of the children” laws that the children bypass within 20 seconds.
Are small breasts still functionally banned, or has the classification board smartened the fuck up in the last decade?
Excuse me, what’s functionally banned now?
This is actually an old internet half-truth. The Australian ratings board’s rules refuses classification to porn where the actress “appears” underage, regardless of her actual age, which could potentially possibly lead to porn from small-breasted actresses being refused - but AFAIK that’s never actually happened.
ratings board’s rules refuses classification to porn where
Does the Australian Ratings Board classify porn otherwise?
Yes, Australian censorship is done through refusing classification, which makes the material illegal to import or sell. But frankly its been a joke for as long as the internet has existed.
Hahaha what a hilarious bureaucrat job rating porn for the state hell yeah what a country
Are right-wingers crying censorship?
I bet they aren’t, they care more about policing children than they do free speech.
Yes, social media is bad for the mental health of everyone, especially children, but it’s also how everyone under 40 gets their news now. This feels like a response to young people learning the Palestinian side of things through Tiktok.
Now they can juice them up on main stream media propaganda while they’re young.
No it has bi-partisan support because it’s got nothing to do with saving the children and everything to do with digital ID for all citizens. Time to VPN up mateys.
That’s probably the goal but I have a feeling it’ll backfire and kids will find their way to places like this or they’ll just learn how to use VPNs to get around the ban.
this seems Good, to me
Good. Social media is a cancer that’s played a big role in the far-right surging in popularity.
This citations needed fan forum should be off limits to everyone in Australia; those under sixteen years of age as well as those over sixteen years of age.
But on your sixteenth birthday, you get 24 hours to go wild
The amendments passed on Friday bolster privacy protections. Platforms would not be allowed to compel users to provide government-issued identity documents including passports or driver’s licenses, nor could they demand digital identification through a government system.
Okay so how will tech companies go about doing this? My best bet is random auditing of every social media profile in the country by “AI” which is actually underpaid workers in the global south.
i would imagine it’s gonna be the same “Are you over 18? Y/N” lander page you’d find on most websites with adult content
