   The real reason government wants to and now has banned under 16s from social media in Australia has to do with it being an authoritarian state. This new law will force everyone to ID on social media, not just "youth", and maybe not even just those in Australia. Talk about Orwellian. Just to let everyone know we will NOT be introducing ID checks for ANY ONE on our social.freetalklive.com Mastodon instance. F' Australia.

     @mr_penguin what I read earlier was that the law specifically targeted only servers with huge numbers of users, so even something like mastodon.social would be exempt. I don't really understand how Bluesky works so I don't know how tha would effect them.
