>>
>>107182539
Pedophiles

>Exempt
>Roblox
>Discord
>Youtube Kids

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING?
>>
>bans all those
>keeps discord and potentially tumblr
lmao what the actual fuck are they thinking, exempt the pedo platforms with some of the worst communities possible and potentially the teen self harm / anorexia capital of the internet

>Who the fuck still uses Kik?
4chan for some reason

As expected of a country which locked its own citizens up in concentration camps 5 years ago
>>
>>107182539
>Roblox
Considering all the pending lawsuits, this is an odd choice to prove that the law isn't to protect children at all.
>>
>>107182539

really nigga?

certified lover boys, certified pedophiles

>banned reddit
>exempt Roblox, discord, YouTube (pedo edition)
Who's this trying to protect and from what?
>>
>>107182539
Plenty of pedophiles use Kik??
If you're young at all you'd probably heard of it. I've seen Kik pedos write down their contacts in public bathrooms.

Australian eSafety Commissioner is to thank for that one, who is also an American who "declined" a role at the CIA in the 90s

I was sure YouTube was going to be exempt. That's insane to me. Maybe not as insane as exempting Discord.

But I remember being in high school, a thousand years ago, and a classmate telling me that he does as well as he does in school because he looks up maths and programming tutorials on YouTube. And he was at the top of my class in those classes, despite being just as much of a slacker and a gaming addict as I was. I should've followed in his footsteps, but I was too depressed and indifferent at the time. Thanks for reading my teenage blog post. <3

Although, maybe YouTube Restricted mode will still be allowed.
>>
>>107183049
I did tutorials on youtube 5 or so years ago. and while I could have them published in the kids category, it would require too much work and most of all disable all comments.

most learning channels aren't in the kids category. if comments are enabled, then the video can't be in the kids category at all (at least used to be like that).

youtube kids is just baby shark slop or lullaby slop channels that have $100m production companies behind them, with executive and shareholders trying to get the most money at all cost. even if it makes your kids retarded
>>
>>107182722
>>107182606
>>107182561

even if they banned those too, teens would simply resort to shadier platform that simply don't care or ignore the law.

i think it's simply going to create a more tech-literate generation that will learn to bypass government restrictions
>>
>>107183098
Everything that's animated has a chance of randomly getting thrown into kids mode. There is South Park on youtube kids, Family Guy, and I've even seen some "parodies" ie SpongeBob dubs where someone just makes SpongeBob say "let's kill all gypsies" and children love watching that slop, especially unsupervised lol
>>
>>107183098
Well, as far as I know, Restricted mode is a separate category from YouTube Kids that's typically used in schools and other institutions. So there's a chance that it won't be banned for under-16s.
>>
>>107183118
If it was one global unified list I'd agree with you, but this is exclusively Australia's law and list. Even if it came to pass the way you say, it would still cut off (most) Australian teens from the popular global brainrot conglomerates

>>107182539
this. holy shit boomers are retarded

is this real? this shit is so dumb

kik is used by druggies.
>>
>>107182539
So, how in the world do they intend to enforce this shit?
>>
>>107182539
>YouTube Kids
Pure propaganda, so of course it's exempt.
>Roblox
Government officials & the rich are all pedos, so of course it's exempt.
>Discord
Grooming, pedos, and propaganda, so of course it's exempt.
>>
>>107182539
>Who the fuck still uses Kik?
Stalkers and pedophiles
I mean oldfag stalkers and pedophiles, young people (30yo or less) are using Discord for that
>>
>>107182539
>>107182561
kek
they're not protecting the kids from diddlers
just need to keep them from hearing opinions
>>
>>107182539
>roblox
>discord
>facebook messager
this is literally the triad of pedophiles

>banning youtube
??????????

Also, what does a kid need LinkedIn for?
>>
>>107182539
>Who the fuck still uses Kik?
kik is used for cheating. An app you can keep hidden from your significant other.
>>
>>107184261
They'll go the UK route where you have to hand over all your personal information to ensure you are obeying the government.
>>
>>107182561
stop noticing
>>
>>107182539
What if I only use a PC with no camera?
>>
>>107182539
I don't get it, what are they trying to solve? Kids will just find different websites that pop up. It's like killing dark net market A, which creates B C and D.
>>
>>107182539
That's Kick, not Kik
>>
ban Facebook for adults too

what the fuck is kik and why should I care
>>
>>107182539
Am I blind or are you dyslexic? There's no mention of Kik.
Kick is a Twitch clone for streamers who got paid to stream there or who got banned from Twitch.
>>
>>107182539
>4chang not even on the list
>>
>>107186340
>>107185293
Today I learned Kik and Kick are unrelated online platforms.
>>
>>107182539
kick? people who get banned from twitch and tiktok live, whose content is usually tos breaking or mature, kick has lax or inexistent age verification requirements too
possibly the only one there you can argue under 16s shouldn't access
>>
guys, this law is totally about protecting children. it's not some political agenda against some companies.
