I can’t understand how someone hasn’t explained to them that it’s impossible to enforce. I can only see two possible ways:

1. Require every social media platform operating in Australia to do rigorous ID checks on all users to ensure no-one is under the legal age, or

2. Somehow lock down the whole Australian internet so that users must login and then validate the identity, and therefore age, of all users. Then maintain a huge filter table to restrict under age users from social media.

Both of these are clearly never going to happen. Have I missed a simpler way to do it?

Almost a chuckle

That is such a fucked up view of the world that I have a hard time accepting that it’s real (even though I know it’s quite common).
