E-safety commissioner in Australia is upset their isn’t a system to snitch on teens who are on social media. Wanting children to be safe is a reasonable thing but it isn’t healthy or normal behaviour to want a society where people report each other for being on social media. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4181pkxl2o

@JamesBaker Many will just seek to alternative options rather than use traditional social media which can have the opposite effect of pushing teens into the dark web or other unmonitored spaces outside of government jurisdiction.

More commonly they'll just a VPN to bypass it honestly, having this snitching system really wouldn't do anything aside from making it appear more authoritarian than it actually is.
