Sunshine (she/her)Australia is a nanny state censoring the internet.
iktfrom my pov if being a nanny state lets kids be more like kids and less like little phone addicts having their dopamines blown I don’t mind it

Why Australia Is Banning Social Media for Under-16s
danParents should be doing a better job parenting, rather than relying on the state to do it for them.
Also, when has banning kids from doing something actually stopped them from doing it? Even “back in my day”, using a proxy to bypass blocked sites was common knowledge amongst the smarter kids. The tech savvy kids would host their own proxies using a free web hosting service and PHProxy (or similar software). These days, it’s much easier to use a VPN or proxy.
