I feel it’s only to impose forced identification of all users on the internet.
I download Mullvad VPN but when it’s connected via anywhere but Australia i can’t even access lemmy via this account.
I couldn’t use Reddit either unless I VPN through somewhere in Australia so I assume a VPN won’t work to get around these new laws.


This is how I feel as well lol
I’m willing to jump through some hoops for messaging services, assuming all my friends and family do the same, but for just general social media I am perfectly content to wave goodbye. It is so far from being an essential part of my life.
