"We got a bunch of middle-aged politicians who have no experience in this choosing to have a say over young people.”

Teen activists say they've used social media to share their stories and politically organise. They fear the ban will silence their voice

Your "this is not a paywall" popup is raising questions that are not answered by the popup.

That "social media" ban. I wonder how many people will "accidentally" get a notice that they HAVE to verify their age by providing private information & how soon will hackers copy the emails & get ALL our info cause we HAVE to give it or lose all access to our, decades old, social media accounts🤔😒

I am low key excited to see how Nvidia is going to get a GPU to jump a shark.

I'm not sure what this is but it's definitely a 'post-peak' signal.
I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

This guy's position became untenable years ago. And yet here we still are, where everytime someone looks at something it just gets worse.

NEW: I have obtained, under FOI, a secret Department report that initially recommended the Targeted Compliance Framework - aka, the unlawful "mutual obligations" scheme

It reveals that, like Robodebt, they recklessly built this thing to punish "entitled" frauds who never existed

The ideological commitment to punishing welfare recipients is a true sickness

Here, the Department endorses the use of payment suspensions to get victims of domestic violence to disclose their circumstances

There is a word for using punishment to extract information out of people: torture

AI in education is being used to displace academic governance of technologies in education - only managers have decisionmaking power to introduce it

In any other context, what would we think about some unseen stranger eavesdropping on kids’ conversations to see what they’re talking about?
I missed that Communications Minister Anika Wells said that kids talking on social media about plans to get around the teen ban will be picked up by the platforms as a signal that they are under 16.

"Creating and publishing software under an open source license is an act of contribution to the digital commons. Finding and publishing information about security issues in that software is also an act of contribution to the same commons." Maybe, but these contributions are not of equal value.

Fun* fact: in Australia, over 87% of the people who have data exposed in a data breach do so because it was in the ~3 very large data breaches we have each year. (On average, since 2018)

Probably because the ban has absolutely nothing to do with child safety whatsoever, it is about limiting and controlling access to information for young people, as well as slowly forcing everyone to adopt a digital ID. The whole thing is an absurd farce that’s going to fail in spectacular fashion.

The teen social media ban hasn't begun but already Australians have been exposed in a social media platform's ID breach.

The privacy commissioner says it "goes to many of the concerns that Australians already hold about the looming age assurance scheme."

How's that new privacy tort working out?
One month out from the under-16s ban and almost all of the users caught up in the Discord data breach caused by age assurance appeals were based in Australia, OAIC has finally confirmed. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
