Australian lawmakers hoping that 1 out 5 children are LGBT
NO FUCKING SHIT SHIRLOCK!
What these Boomer polititions fail to realise is that the under 16 year olds are far more tech literate than they are, and the younger generation has been conditioned to believe that irl socialisation is risky and online life/status is paramount. You can't just pull the rug from under these kids, you have to actually teach better behaviours that form allow kids to form better habbits and relationships with technology, and with other humans.
Anyone that has an anxiety attack from the thought of talking to someone face to face or over the phone needs an intervention if you ask me

Stupid boomers
So fine the companies if they haven't been taking reasonable precautions.
They know so much about all of us. And they want us to believe they don't know who is underage with a high degree of certainty?
Tech companies have pushed for age verification on the operating system level so they can't be fined because it's not a them issue.
It's bullshit and any tech company that doesn't do maximum effort should be fined out of existence and the top people in jail.
Hey nobody is talking about online gambling so mission accomplished!
Spank them.
