Government overreach, remember you're letting yourselves be told what to do by people who came into this life the same way you did and will go out the same way.

My kids are teens and can handle YouTube and the occasional online game with their friends. I hear everything they’re saying lol. Keep the government outta my house thx.

I hate to say it, but this is likely for the best. In this era parents have become increasingly irresponsible when it comes to investing time into what they're kids are getting into and setting boundaries. It's unfair to expect parents to be able to deal with the wide array of dysfunction that individuals over the internet can produce and expose your children too.
It's not as easy as just controlling the television anymore.

Finally some good News. PC gaming is the future with no limitations.

Lol ban away there is always away around some stupid rule or law. All this is is nothing more but government over reach. My question is how are they going to enforce the new rule and law? Are the cops going to come in and arrest little Jimmy because he is playing Fortnite?

If you have a VPN at home, you can use YT, make a new account if you like change your DOB etc. There are ways around anything.

We live in a clown country

I couldn't agree more with this. If the age of consent is 16, then the age to be on any form of social media platform should be the same. As a teacher, I see pupils in their early teenage years fixated on the goings on from social media. Real life issues have originated for some of my pupils from their interactions with other over, for example, Snapchat or playing Xbox.

Moving to a wider picture, in the UK we've had children stab each other over Snapchat "beefs". All of these social media platforms have some positive benefits, but for a child who is still developing - and despite seeing themselves as adults, they're absolutely still children - I wish the UK would follow Australia in this.

The more I hear about Australian politics and laws, the more it seems like a puritan hellhole.

Australia is the worse run country on the planet, also has the shitiest internet speeds, even 3rd world countries have better internet speeds

So this is the headline I saw earlier somewhere else saying Sony removes over a thousand games from its store. Makes sense, cut the fat, no more bloat.

Wish Nintendo would follow suit.

well
better 5 years late than never
now they just need to get the 1 minute platinum trophy garbage

Great, now limit the items in the monthly sale to 100 and make them count.
