He could however get around it if he charged his friends $0.0001 per Mb of data transferred between them and the server (business interactions) or made sure that every chat post included an ad and all polygons were skinned in ads (see section 63C(1) and 63C(3) of the act amendment)

The definition of a site that would be affected is in the online safety act. Your son's singaporean Minecraft server would definitely be included and if he had a beef with one of his friends they could report him and he could be fined 30,000 penalty units or $3,300,000.

Hahaha it's in the original act and it's hilarious.

material means material:
(a) whether in the form of text; or
(b) whether in the form of data; or
c) whether in the form of speech, music or other sounds; or
(d) whether in the form of visual images (moving or otherwise); or
(e) whether in any other form; or
(f) whether in any combination of forms.

The way I see it it would be a struggle for big social media sites to implement. I think they are more likely to shimmy on out of here.

The legislation seems to exclude everything for business purposes, if a child is selling skins on Roblox are they then entitled to an account?

It also excludes advertising, if all a user's interactions are being sold by the provider to advertisers and that being their primary business model, does that mean the account is off the hook?

On another note I love the definition for 'material' in the existing act .. shows a rock solid understanding of the internet.

I'm glad they have put the onus of social media platforms, however I think there is no feasible way to make this work short of requiring 100 points of ID be provided to your social media account to prove age. As much as I'd like to share that information with every platform I think I'll pass.

Further to this, how do you police that on something like the fediverse? Is @Aussie.zone going to shut down because the onus of checking IDs too much for a small social media provider? What about IRC?

I assume there is going to be a series of marches consisting of a million angry children and their parents protesting the loss of Minecraft and Roblox ..

I think everyone is more concerned that the USA will continue to make its politics "of the world" rather than stop ..

The book did it better =)

There was a finding a few years ago that while preventing skin cancer, sunscreen was also causing people in some places to get less vitamin d which was increasing instances of colon cancer. The solution isn't banning sunscreen, it's making sure people get some small amount of sun or supplements vitamin d.

Being from Oz I never really considered issues with vitamin d until I moved to the UK for a few years and discovered that limited vitamin d is a real problem in winter. Im not sure on the deficiency you need for colon cancer but a few weeks of little to no Sun really messes with your head and body.

I have sympathy for the neighbours, I don't have sympathy for the people with the lights who are ridiculous

How is this not the onion?!

DAMN YOU!

I know some dinosaur names ..

Google tells me there's 4.8 million people on Adderall in the US, those government labour camps will be 2.5 times the size of the entire existing prison system, who'd have thought the brain worms would do brain farts?

Seems like an odd place to run a multilevel marketing scheme out of .. but okay .. I guess it helps solve the virgin problem =)

Right wing ideological white men are the original Karen's, they can't help but complain about everything, especially if those things have literally no bearing on their existence whatsoever.

They're all like "Those people over there are having fun without bothering anyone else, how dare they! I'm going to complain to their manager. And then when their manager calls me a chucklefuck and tells me to fuck off I'm going to complain to a bunch of other right wing arseholes and see if we can't ruin their fun forever with super fun bureaucracy."

If you don't include them they will be mad, if you do include them they will also be mad.

He may be a born leader and able to inspire legions to fight for him .. he possibly has some combat prowess and is likely a tactical genius.

This would make a great NFT

Jeepers given how new emperors are typically established this lil fella has likely waded through rivers of blood to reach his lofty position. Or he comes from a long line of cute patoots, either or.

Like going to England and responding tothe greeting "orright" with anything other than "orright". NO IM NOT "ORRIGHT" EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING ME IF IM "ORRIGHT".

Also they get real confused if you respond with "I'm great thanks mate how are you?"
