this is a breach of privacy

this is silencing teens who protest online

this is depriving teens of safe spaces

this is stupid

stop it

oh god. what did i miss

#australia social media ban

the australian kosa

once they go through with this we are going to be forced into giving our ids to social media apps to prove our age- which is a risk to safety

and ofc- the teens protesting online will be silenced and every teen will lose access to safe spaces and other info

theyre acting like this is for kids safety- exactly like how kosa was being advertised

it seems every country is trying to or has been implementing these stupid laws- why? oh they probs dont wanna let kids see non-christian content or anything against their country or any world news ofc! they dont want kids to be influenced by the “evil” online

kids as in teens

teens aren’t toddlers- stop treating them as such

IT'S OFFICIAL: THE WORLD'S STRICTEST SOCIAL MEDIA LAWS HAVE JUST BEEN APPROVED IN AUSTRALIA 29/11/2024

BUT

THEY HAVE 12 MONTHS TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS IS GOING TO BE MANAGED! 12 MONTHS IS A YEAR! THIS COULD BE TIME TO TRY AND REVOKE THIS OR PROTEST AGAINST IT TO NOT LET IT BE IMPLEMENTED THEN- HOPEFULLY!

Just- spread the word. Please.

This is not for kids' online safety.

They are asking us to give our IDs- that's PERSONAL information that if taken by the wrong hands can have detrimental consequences.

DO NOT BE FOOLED

YouTube is not banned though. Good enough. (Still- an entire ban for under 16 year olds??? Seems excessive.)

I’m Australian and am going to be really damaged once the ban happens, if it does. My life is almost completely surrounded by social media, I’d probably kill myself without it, I have such great online friends and supportive influences I see online and my entire world would probably shatter if they do end up doing the ban. I would lose contact to all my favourite people and mental health services. The government wants “children” to have childhoods like theres but that’s really not possible, modern day parents are weary to let their kids outside freely and things just wouldn’t be the same.

this is absolutely horrendous. is there any word of protest/movements that will cause disruption to the law actually being implemented??? please share if there’s anything we can keep helping with!

I really have no idea if people have planned a protest or not- problem with aus is that ppl don't seem to care but when things get messy they complain

I'll be reblogging this if I do have anything- even like a new tiny drop of information

#australia social media ban

Blow it up.

Like- the social media ban, im old enough to not be banned, right?

However. It means everyone must put their IDs in to have a social media account.

I do not know where my ID is. I know my parents have it.

If i take it, my parents will know I have some sort of social media.

And beyond that.

They want us to put our ID in? To access social media? Like, HOLY SHIT dude. NO.

Leaks happen. Hacks happen. What will happen if someone hacks in and steals our fuckin ID???

Its a complete privacy risk, and an invasion of privacy. I do NOT want my irl name linked to this account.

After several posts about the Australia social media ban, I have concluded that fucking hell US Americans are assholes. 90% of you are amazing but like the other 10% was like “this doesn’t matter”, “it doesn’t affect anyone actually”, “why would I care” and one memorable “no one lives in Australia anyone so it’s not a loss”

This is why trump won, up your ass you pricks have a lovely time in the worst country on earth.

I think it’s so funny that when America faced KOSA (and still does) that we did not hear the end of it online, but now that Australia is implementing a complete social media ban for under 16 year olds that will likely require a ID to verify, I’ve seen like 2 posts.

"Teens need to know how to be safe online" and "Teens shouldn't be banned from online spaces because they're the only places some of them feel safe" can and should co-exist by the way.

Be aware: Australia is likely implementing a bill similar to KOSA. However it is a complete ban for social media for under 16 year olds. Raise awareness about this like you did for KOSA.
