Signal never asks for your face. Mastodon and the Fediverse don't care about your age. Linux doesn't care about your identity.

I'd like to thank the Australian Government for significantly increasing the adoption of ethical and user-first platforms, which are crucial to our sustainable digital ecosystem. This truly is world-class legislation.
