Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

Tech expert points out privacy pitfall in under-16 social media ban www.thenational.scot/news/2613974... @heatherburnstech.bsky.social identifies "three main effects people could expect to see from a ban on young children using social media" #socialmediaban #censorship #openweb #techpolicy

The tech expert, who advocates for a "open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy" internet, said that those who do not give up more of their personal data to social media companies will be forced to use an "infantilised internet".

Burns added: “Two is that those of us who refuse to comply will find ourselves using an infantilised internet by design, where even legal and harmless content is censored as being potentially sensitive.

"This is already in practice on sites like BlueSky, which has removed the functionality for UK users to send direct messages to each other if they have not verified their age, based on the Online Safety Act labelling direct messaging as a vector for child abuse.

"In reality, all it does is make it difficult for middle-aged policy experts to have conversations with journalists."
