  1. Your ID already denies you access based on age. It has done your entire life regardless of how old you are

  2. Safety and security has always been used to sell communism

  3. A VPN will absolutely get around the ban. It's not only been confirmed in the short senate inquiry but simply understanding technology let's us know that. The ban is very silly. 61% of Australians supporting restrictions on children under 17 using social media DOES NOT mean 61% of Australians support an outright ban with government imposed ID checks. When yougov polled on the restrictions they didn't ask about ID checks, they just asked about "some restrictions" which most respondents took to mean greater parental controls. That is a regulation that requires meta and google and X to allow the creation of child accounts bound to parent accounts, and where the parent can decide what is and isn't ok, and where the parent can monitor what's being viewed and for how long. Ie. Parental surveillance of their own children while they're online which most people are A-OK with. But this socialist labor government heard parent and thought we were talking about them. P.S. The MaD law has been WITHDRAWN, NOT SCRAPPED. It has between withdrawn previously as well, this was its second attempt. Labor have stated they fully intend to try for a third go if they win the next election. STOP VOTING FOR SOCIALISTS IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM.
