lol they're going to backflip on YouTube, so now Google is Big Mad, and the Coalition is rubbing their face in it from the sidelines (while not taking a position themselves) and Snapchat and TikTok are all going to be yelling about YouTube and this is all such an obvious mess that was predicted in advance by many people.

It has weird things in it, like "some messaging services include features and functionality associated with these harms, such as ephemeral content that is only accessible for a short window of time"

You are describing a phonecall.

@daedalus I’m sure the minister would never make use of the iMessage/WhatsApp/Messenger/Signal feature that lets you delete that message you sent to the wrong group by accident, because it might harm children

@s0 @daedalus I used to love it when politicians asked if I was on WhatsApp. All my most amusing interactions with them happened via that channel. Except one person who I conversed with via FOI-able SMS, mostly in meme GIFs.
