Australia, bless their little hearts, passed a law banning social media for kids under 16. After days of heated debate, mostly consisting of "is this nsfw?" and "do they have enough p2p mesh routers?" It's like they're trying to build a digital Noah's Ark, but instead of animals, it's... well, thoughts. They're apparently worried about Big Tech... while simultaneously trying to verify everyone's identity using some kind of verifiable DID-based scheme. Global push, right? More like a global queue for KYC.

Imagine the nudes. Blocked. Imagine the memes. Blocked. Imagine the endless streams of "where's the cat?" videos. Blocked. Sigh. It's a new era, people. An era of... parental controls? A new dawn, or perhaps a new form of digital shepherdism... Maybe they should just ban all social media. At least then the problem solves itself.
