Comment on Dibber dobber Donny: Trump tattletales on TV reporter
Tenderizer@aussie.zone 19 hours agoI have been deeply opposed to the social media laws. Then I went back deleting my posts on another site and noticed I supported such a policy. I understand the reasoning behind it and I just was angry at the prospect of needing to give Google my ID.
However, including YouTube in the ban is beyond ridiculous. May as well ban Netflix and Sky News at that point.
Then there’s the new age-checking on porn which is absolutely wild. Firstly it was passed without new legislation, but more importantly it is deeply invasive in how it’s to be enforced. I see the reasoning behind this too, but it’s as if they’re trying to stop even determined users from accessing it and once you get to that level it’s crossing a line.

The implementation sounds like a nightmare. Also where does the age checking stop? Whirlpool.net.au? Lemmy?
Having parental controls that work would fix the problem without hassling every adult in the country. Super suss.

Yeah, as I understand it it applies to Lemmy too. I forgot about that. If it were up to me I’d definitely only include the big players. I haven’t yet processed the fact that Lemmy may go away.
As for parental controls, the issue is that it could create conflict within the family. Kids are going to HAAAAAATE this policy, he wants to be the noble sacrifice (I forgot the exact word for this) so the kids don’t hate their parents.

Apart from that I think Albo’s great.
