Companies approached by the eSafety commissioner this month about the requirement to prevent under 16s from holding social media accounts from 10 December have conducted a self-assessment that the commissioner will use to decide if they need to comply with the ban.

eSafety will not be formally declaring which service meets the criteria but companies that eSafety believes meet the criteria will be expected to comply.

    This sounds like the income tax in the USA. They won’t tell you how much you owe in tax, but if you’re wrong then they’ll bring the hammer down.

    This is some prime authoritarian bullshit. Who needs properly declared laws and rules anyway, the current administration are “the good guys”, right?? They’ll just tell you if you’re wrong.

      This is the right way to make laws and rules.

      It’s the same way we do tax - self compliance. You self report but if you’re caught breaking the rules then you face punishments.

      If the administration just made a list of who’s effected, it would be perpetually incomplete. This way, everyone is effected.

      They can’t just unilaterally decide that your self assessment is “wrong” without explanation. Also their decisions about who is effected are public, and can be relied on by others to self assess.

      No, they’re the ‘better than the last lot’ party. Labor are a party of and for Landlords.

      The Greens are the good party.

        Given the bad incentives on parties from our two party system then even Greens would eventually become bad (unless they managed to fix the voting system they just won on…).

        Labor are a party of and for Landlords.

        Bullshit.

        It was only 8 years ago Labor campaigned on removing capital gains tax discounts which would’ve been a huge kick up the ass for landlords.

        They lost that election in spectacular fashion.

          Their own review found that was almost entirely due to the unlikeability of Bill Shorten, but is trundled out by every rusted on labor voter every time.

          Labor have a vested interest in keeping property prices high as they themselves are all landlords.

          They’ve done nothing about housing since they’ve been in power and keep decrying the previous government as if their still in opposition.

    yeah because when I want to be social or check out porn github is the first place that pops to mind.

    Although…now that I think about it…doing git clone on a porn repo would be convenient. could even easily update it. hm…Actually I think Australia might be on to something here

      yeah and boomers were saying the same about us when we were watching a squirrel singing about “Gonads and strife” or a badly translated Sega Genesis game claiming “All your base are belong to us”

      ALL generations watch dumb shit, stop acting like this ONE generation suddenly originated dumb shit to watch.
