Rather than have those Age Restrictions which mostly did not work, we could had tried the method of making Algorithms opt in therefore preventing room scrolling and making Social Media feel boring or we could had targeted the devices at point of sale (like we do with Alcohol and Knives)

They’ve got other issues, but they’d try and do something. It’s a vote getter.
“We must do something about protecting the kids…even though I’m a parent and and I’m far too busy with my head up my arse to take active control of my own kids”

Again, I thought they censored the post because Derryn looks like the shearer was halfway through shearing him and thought screw this, leaving him half-shaven and still ugly?
Kids are dodging social media ban, but some positive impact reported
Australia’s under-16 social media ban is proving difficult to enforce, with the vast majority of children still accessing banned platforms and parents left to carry much of the burden, according to new research.
The report, conducted by global data and insights platform Pureprofile, surveyed 1,025 parents, teachers, and young Australians. It found that in the six months since the ban’s inception, guardrails and age verification methods are largely failing to block under-16 access.
Martin Fitz, CEO of Pureprofile said in a release: “Six months post-ban, the findings suggest many of the concerns raised before the ban have materialised.”
Despite failures cited in the report, Pureprofile also found there has been positive influence — parents and children report reported enjoying more offline and outdoor activities since the ban (77%, up from 44% a year earlier).
