I bet they aren't, they care more about policing children than they do free speech.
Yes, social media is bad for the mental health of everyone, especially children, but it's also how everyone under 40 gets their news now. This feels like a response to young people learning the Palestinian side of things through Tiktok.
Now they can juice them up on main stream media propaganda while they're young.
No it has bi-partisan support because it's got nothing to do with saving the children and everything to do with digital ID for all citizens. Time to VPN up mateys.
What're they getting from that on https though? As I understand it on https all your ISP sees is the website you visited, not anything after the ".com"
That's probably the goal but I have a feeling it'll backfire and kids will find their way to places like this or they'll just learn how to use VPNs to get around the ban.
They will end up in far worse regulated dark parts of the internet. This has nothing to do with protecting the children. Kinda like how america's PATRIOT act was one of the least patriotic bits of legislation to ever pass at that point in time.
They want all australians to have to prove their real identities to use the internet.
On the plus side every time they try to make something happen with the internet hundreds of thousands of people end up with their data stolen. Wait that's not a plus.
Anyway go ahead, drive them off the internet and into the streets. That'll work out well for them heheheh.

Your digital ID will then shown you're on a VPN
All your metadata is already recorded for 2 years iirc.

tbh I dunno at this point. There are astounding powers to force the creation of backdoors and stuff.
I think the overt stuff is 5 eyes partners + connection logs.
