Some impressions:
- AgeGate not really effective as 70% of Aussi under-16 users still have access to social media.
- Like most politicians, he does not seem to fully understand all of the technical details while he seems to be focused on corp profits.

IMO the only sure way to keep young people off social media is to take away their smartphones (something that parents can do now without new laws).
Give them flip phones with talk and text only if they need to communicate with parents.

Parental controls can be added to any computer to prevent certain people from connectiong to social media sites.
Many internet modems and most internet routers have these controls which could be more effective at keeping kids off social media than the approach used in Australia.

I'm concerned that politicians are reallly going to bleep things up for everyone and no one will be any safer.

I don't use corporate social media
