alecmAustralia to Enforce Mandatory Social Media Age Checks | Australian e-Safety Commissioner bans plotline of Bluey episode
Bluey is a phenomenon, especially if you are a parent. It’s the finest export from Australia since Kylie Minogue & Steve Irwin.
Series 2 Episode 24 “Faceytalk” is all about young kids in an extended family sharing silly times together over social media. Admittedly it does end in one of the kids overexcitedly drowning a phone in a swimming pool, but it’s comedy because it’s recognition, and it has a lesson.
And I’m finding it quietly ridiculous that the Australians are essentially banning it from ever happening:
Go click. Apparently ostensible safety is more important that children are prevented from having fun:
“A safety law that reads like a blueprint for a surveillance state.”

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.

> In an exclusive interview with ABC Afternoon Briefing, Ms Inman-Grant argued the way the social media companies are structured meant content must be removed “globally”, and Australia should have the right to issue those take downs. “The idea of global deletion or wanting to ‘globally censor’ the internet is really a furphy … the simple fact of the matter is with all of these companies, they don’t have internet infrastructure or servers here, the only way you can remove that content is at scale, at the source, which is in California,” she said.
But it’s nothing to do with the way social media companies are structured. It’s everything to do with the internet being cross-border by default, and geo-fencing being an imperfect border control.

* A furphy is Australian slang for an erroneous or improbable story that is claimed to be factual. Furphies are supposedly heard from reputable sources, sometimes secondhand or thirdhand, and widely believed until discounted. Wikipedia
