Australia banned Social Media for teenagers under 16

Millions of Australian teens lose access to social media accounts as ban takes effect - live updates

They will not be able to set up new accounts and existing profiles must be deactivated - while companies could face fines for not complying.

in my opinion this is completely deranged. A contemporan world where everything revolves around social media, being banned for about 4 milion people is something unacceptable.
Also, getting a 32 MILION dollar fine for breaking this rule is just stupid, it's social media, the main source of entertainment, what can be so bad?

they should have banned it for just women instead

probably a good thing

 

[foidhater123]

probably a good thing

why do you think that?

 

[taai]

Good

 

[HundredManSlayer]

why do you think that?

it’s just bad for your brain in general and propaganda spreads easily through it, it’s one of the main driving factors for hypergamy in women

you are right, there might be some downsides about social media but the fact that it's completely banned and not simply restricted is so weird to me. I feel like this is somewhat authoritative and weird. Social media can also be used for learning, school etc.

risky af, if the government sees someone using a VPN they might sanction them

approximately 0% of people use it for learning, school, or education. it’s for mindless scrolling, dopaminergic boosts, vanity, and validation.

yes it’s authoritarian but it’s a step in the right direction

this is an unfathomably good thing, should be banned outright.

I know technology never walks back, but the internet has been a net negative for humanity and social media is the worst of its children

look at all the 20something year old foids now that grew up with an ig and snapchat account in middle school, complete tragedy what's happened to them

I mean they might be right. Kids that haven't even fully developed their brain yet watching indescribable things on some hideous sites is indeed not a good thing for society.

it's social media, the main source of entertainment, what can be so bad?

watching short form content is literally proven to make you dumb, theyre just trying to lead the kids on a good path, because young kids haven't developed fully yet so they easily fall victim to social media and this will only result in like 95% of a generation becoming borderline retarded, along with AI wich they will use for cheating in school and any task that even involves any kind of thinking, i agree that this should be the parents duty, but obviously most of parents are retarded niggers and cant properly raise their kids, so if we would just leave the next generations to the big coorperations that run these social media plattforms they will genuinely turn out "subhuman" and we will actually be at a point where half of the world is mentally retarded

isn't that what the world leaders want tho?

Unlike you when I was 13 or 14 social media as we know did not exist and It was not a real thing for me until 16. I lived a world without it and I rather go back

 

[Aryan Incel]

Brutal for youngcels

 

[bourgeoizyzz]

[greycel]

probably a good thing

Definitely a good thing

Wait till they realize most people sign up for gmail/apple accounts with much older fake ages LOL. All that’s going to happen is the low inhib chads and normies will keep using social media but with fake ages, while the perma-worried shut in incels will delete their instagram accounts in fear of being prosecuted JFL. Nobody takes these age restrictions seriously. I certainly didn’t when I was 15.

 

[SkinjobCatastrophe]

it will probably be one of those “click to confirm you are over 18” kind of things that everyone knows is pointless but is a legal requirement. I will be worried when they can tie your identity to your internet access, but thats not happened yet

they might need that "id confirmation" just like in the UK.

Wish it would happen everywhere, social media is literally full of 12yos recycling stupid memes in every comment section on every app. Even creators had to adapt to that, and they all started making all this brainrot content for views and likes from kids, which btw is AI

how old are you?

Almost 30 soon
