The social media ban isn’t working. Now what? - 7am
The first official report from eSafety on how the government’s under-16 social media ban is going has been released. And the early picture is grim. Kids are getting around the ban, and eSafety says it has seen no drop in cyberbullying or abuse reports involving children on those platforms. So is this just a messy start, with the government right to ask for more patience? Or is it proving that you can’t fix platforms built to hook young people simply by trying to lock them out? Today, associate editor for Crikey, Cam Wilson, on why the ban isn’t working – and whether Australia is focusing on the wrong solutions.

@Kurosetii @belladonnalily The President of Veneto,Alberto Stefani,wants to ban under 14 from social media to "protect them" from "explicit and harmful content" but this age verification process will be that all venetians are forced to link their social media accounts to a centralized Digital ID system(i think with CIE or SPID).In an interview, he said that this bill will be ready to take effect in 3 months!! #privacy #ageverification #Italy #socialmediaban

This got far too long for Mastodon, so I stuck it on my WordPress blog which is Federated with the ActivityPub plugin.
If you take the time to read it, and you’re in the UK yourself, the public consultation on the social media ban for under sixteen year olds is live and I’d encourage people to respond. UK based Mastodon mods will need to think about the implications of these proposals…
