> We have something similar in Australia with the Online Safety Act 2021.

That wasn't the one I was thinking of, to be honest.

I'd have thought you would be mentioning the latest ball of WTF: "Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2024".

According to the bill, HN needs to identify all Australian users to prevent under-16's from using it.

That bill is an amendment to the aforementioned act.

But yes, I'm confused as to whether it applies to online gaming, or sites such as wikipedia as well

As written, it should. Which is ridiculous, and it's a ridiculous law in the first place. I'm loathe to discuss politics, but by god both Labor and the LNP are woeful when it comes to tech policy.

Im still dirty about the NBN. Every now and then i go back home to visit and are rudely reminded that the network speeds suck. What do you mean i have to in wait for things to download? What do you mean I'm the the biggest city in the country and are on a copper line getting 5 Mbps....
