Australia's rolling out fresh compliance rules that'll shake up how social platforms operate down under. Starting now, these platforms gotta submit monthly reports breaking down exactly how many underage accounts they've shut down.



The enforcement kicks in alongside Australia's strict 16-year age floor—one of the toughest in the world. A government minister confirmed the reporting mandate, signaling regulators aren't messing around. Platforms face real accountability pressure here.

This move highlights growing global tension around digital identity verification and youth protection online. Could decentralized identity solutions play a role in future compliance frameworks? Worth watching how this unfolds.

This wave of regulation in Australia is really tough. With the monthly reporting system in place, platforms have to honestly report their accounts. But to be honest, this kind of centralized audit method is full of loopholes—it's like a contract without formal verification; relying solely on after-the-fact reporting can't really prevent much...

Australia is really tough this time, with a 16-year-old age threshold that’s among the strictest in the world... With the introduction of the monthly reporting system, platforms have to honestly submit their accounts—there’s no way to escape now.

ngl australia's monthly reporting mandate is just theater if platforms can't actually verify age on-chain... back in my mining days we had better audit trails for hashrate than these social giants do for users lol

Australia is really serious this time; the monthly reporting system directly clamps down on social platforms... That age 16 restriction is truly harsh.

This move by Australia is basically treating platforms as the ones to be harvested. With the introduction of the monthly reporting system, algorithmic bots will have to be retrained again. Rules with no liquidity just make you prey in the dark pool.
