    I’m not a teenager but getting off Instagram and twitter has been amazing for my wellbeing

      They should punish companies for deliberately creating toxic environments, not kids for trying to interact with the world

      That’s all well and good, but getting kids off those platforms is neither the goal nor the outcome of this new law.

          If you’re in aus, can you share how the ban has been? I’d like to hear how it’s actually working out…

            My kid keeps telling me ”its just guidelines" but its getting them off YouTube. Tiktok & others aren’t even on their radar.
            I’m only on Lemmy & haven’t noticed anything. A couple people on insta etc haven’t complained but I’m not sure how much (if any) ID they have needed.
            So far its OK but I still have pretty mixed feelings. We’ll see how it goes.
