In short:

Reddit and Kick will be included in Australia's social media ban for children under 16.

The communications minister says the list of included platforms is "dynamic" and could change.

What's next?

The ban will begin from December 10.

dec10 is when all the sleeping dickheads find out that "Ban the children" comes with a gigantic stick marked "Prove you're not one"

Honestly I think most people won't care. They'll more than happily upload their photo ID or share their face with AI data miners and continue using commercial social media. It'd be great if this does drum up a stink about how poorly thought-out the bill was, but I'm not expecting much.

I fully expect it to turn out like the pandemic part of Mythic Quest. You know, when all the parents suddenly had to deal with kids locked out of their babysitters and lost their shit
