Social media is not the internet.
Social media is a privatized mass-spying and manipulation tool that directly and intentionally destroys the mental health of its users.
Are you aware of Labor’s 2009 plan to censor the entire Australian internet? It didn’t succeed back then thankfully.
There is no way that they will stop at just the big social media platforms.
This is about control and further removal of being anonymous.
It’s not even a liberal vs labor thing. They both have a history of bipartisan support for this type of bullshit. See: metadata retention, assistance and access, identify and disrupt laws.
In late December you’ll need photo ID to search google so it kinda is about the internet
Please don’t spread misinformation.
Under 16’s can still access websites like YouTube and Google but will not be able to interact (i.e liking videos) and comment on content. They will still be able to view videos and publicly shared content.
On the 27th of December a separate set of restrictions kick in

And yet in your own article it can be quoted:
“Search engines will not be required to implement age assurance measures for users who are not logged in to their services, according to the new rules.”
So I fail to see how you will be unable to use Google.
Google cracks the shits if you use a vpn, you think they will accept users logging out en masse?
A few things. Firstly, I don’t know how VPN usage has come into this discussion as I haven’t made mention of VPN usage. Secondly, I’ve just not had the same experience. I use a VPN for all my devices and have never had a single issue using Google and it’s services both with and without an account so it could be an issue on your end.
You will eventually want to access a page or service and will be asked to upload an id and or scan your face to make sure it matches. I for one do not want to have to submit my private information in order to use the internet.
