A VPN easily circumvents, kids are usually more tech smart than their parents Social Media will receive even more data on everyone in some vain attempt to exclude U16 A novel idea might be parents taking responsibility for their children, a tough ask I know I agree with the sentiment just don't see how it can be achieved unless you go down the Chinese route of a Firewall for everyone |

A controlling state taking responsibility away from the parents, just another step to controlling people's lives

Has its pros and cons in my opinion.
As Wannabe said it feels like it may well simply be the state trying to seize further control of social media as to enforce something like this requires verifying peoples identities. Which means everyone will need to prove their age.
Another attack on freedom of speech and expression in my eyes.

Everyone wants naturally to protect kids, but that makes them an easy tool for a prying government. |

It’s a great idea. Will be interesting to see the results.
The Aussies get a lot right.

It's good intentions. Bt is most likely unworkable.

It's all nanny state woke bollocks if you ask me. There are many people who cry woke at everything agreeing with this who should be calling it out given they have nailed their colours to the anti woke mast |

I'd be more worried about the people who still want access to kids on social media. Parents have devolved their responsibility as it is, the don't even want to feed them in London so Sadiq is dishing out free snapping for all. Labour are dishing out breakfasts in primary school. They'll be clothing them next. It'd put those paedo hunters who catfish the nonces out of business too. |

I think everyone's on the same page with wanting to care for kids. If Australia can make it work it could be really pioneering and it'd be great if something were done to reduce the damage the socials are doing. But... "at all costs"? Seems like it could lead to dark spots. If it's "at all costs" then there's a really good argument for banning e.g. the Catholic Church or other religions from being near children, at least for some points in the past. Is that where we want to go? Maybe Australia will work out a good way of doing it that respects privacy & freedom. I'd like to see that. |

The only realistic way to implement it is an age verification for everyone where you will have to submit photo id (passport etc) as part of the sign up process.
Unless AI can do the legwork you will be talking human verification of ID in some cases which will take X amount of time.
Don’t forget social media already have age blocks, but they are easily circumvented by giving a false age…
