Companies approached by the eSafety commissioner this month about the requirement to prevent under 16s from holding social media accounts from 10 December have conducted a self-assessment that the commissioner will use to decide if they need to comply with the ban.
eSafety will not be formally declaring which service meets the criteria but companies that eSafety believes meet the criteria will be expected to comply.
Expect a rise in teens on the Fediverse as this all escalates. Makes me wonder if a well moderated teen targeted instance with very public and transparent admins wouldn’t be a good idea right about now.
