Who the fuck still uses Kik? So arbitrary
>>107182539Pedophiles>Exempt>Roblox >Discord>Youtube KidsWHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING?
>bans all those>keeps discord and potentially tumblrlmao 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>RobloxConsidering all the pending lawsuits, this is an odd choice to prove that the law isn't to protect children at all.
>>107182539>exempt: roblox, discord>banned: facebook, snapchatreally nigga?
>>107182539certified lover boys, certified pedophiles
>>107182539>banned reddit>exempt Roblox, discord, YouTube (pedo edition)Who's this trying to protect and from what?
>>107182539Plenty 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.
>>107182561>>107182606>>107182677Australian eSafety Commissioner is to thank for that one, who is also an American who "declined" a role at the CIA in the 90s
>>107182722Gotta protect the youth from redditors
>>107182539I 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
>>107183049Although, maybe YouTube Restricted mode will still be allowed.
>>107183049I 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>>107182561even 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
>>107183098Everything 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
>>107183098Well, 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.
>>107183118If 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
>>107182539this. holy shit boomers are retarded
>>107182539is this real? this shit is so dumb
>>107182539>>107182954>>107182606kik is used by druggies.
>>107182539So, how in the world do they intend to enforce this shit?
>>107182539>YouTube KidsPure propaganda, so of course it's exempt.>RobloxGovernment officials & the rich are all pedos, so of course it's exempt.>DiscordGrooming, pedos, and propaganda, so of course it's exempt.
>>107182539>Who the fuck still uses Kik?Stalkers and pedophilesI mean oldfag stalkers and pedophiles, young people (30yo or less) are using Discord for that
>>107182539>>107182561kekthey're not protecting the kids from diddlersjust need to keep them from hearing opinions
>>107182539>roblox>discord>facebook messagerthis 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.
>>107184261They'll go the UK route where you have to hand over all your personal information to ensure you are obeying the government.
>>107182561stop noticing
>>107182539What if I only use a PC with no camera?
>>107182539I 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.
>>107182539That's Kick, not Kik
ban Facebook for adults too

>>107182539what the fuck is kik and why should I care
>>107182539Am 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>>107185293Today I learned Kik and Kick are unrelated online platforms.
>>107182539kick? 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.
