I'm sceptical-agnostic on the ban.
But very sceptical of AU's federal Commissioners (institutional child abuse, RoboDebt, aged care quality etc)
So when I read, "... commissioner Julie Inman Grant was quick to remind sceptics the policy is about “resetting cultural norms” and the benefits “may take years to fully manifest”", I see a total absence of experimental rigor and a strong likelihood that the AU federal gov will let social media harm kids for decades.

A #SocialMediaBan is in place.
"... a pragmatic first step ... " Bruce Leck
When are the results of this experiment expected to start rolling in?
Predicted outcomes?
Metrics being watched?
I fear the oh-so-corruptible Australian public service (Robodebt, aged care crisis) and our so-very-corporate-captured ("Job networks", gas & coal) federal LibLab politicians will let a failure roll on, let children be harmed, & not institute effective protections.

Australia’s social media ban for kids is now in effect. As we’ve discussed, this is a monumentally stupid plan that will do real harm to kids. It’s based on a moral panic and a wide variety of faul…

Having a Trumpist threaten her is one way to have me feeling protective of Julie Inman Grant.
Loving the fascism beneath "A restriction on the governments of USA must be abided by all other nations."

This is being done by the #APS Australian Public Service - whose ranks included the enablers & rubber-stampers of +10 years of abuse and neglect of #Australia's frail and vulnerable aged care residents, the "So sad. Too bad." amoral thugs who poured the acid of #RoboDebt onto +400,000 innocent heads, and Commissioners who chose not to stand in the way of illegal mistreatment & unlawful barbarity.
I have no confidence in #eSafetyCommissioner #JulieInmanGrant.
