The Federal Government has announced it is proceeding with legislation to prevent those under 16 from using social media. This article appears to sum up the position well.

I don't know if there are many, or even any people under the age of 16 who use Demonland. I also don't know whether Demonland would fall into the category of being low risk and exempt. I'm not even sure that Demonland would be considered to be a "social media platform".

What I am concerned about, though, is the impact of the legislation on Demonland's administrators if Demonland is captured by the new law. Let's hope Demonland isn't captured by the law, but if it is, that it is considered by the eSafety Commissioner to be low risk and therefore exempt.

 

 

I assume Demonland will fall under the low risk category and likely exempted.

If posters act like 5yr olds will they still be exempt?

(asking for a friend, and you know who you are)

as far as i can make out its pretty unenforceable. like clicking "i am over 18"

It'll be interesting to see how Demonland and the other major sites manage the ID requirements.

I believe the problem on Demonland is of adults who act like five year olds. Legislation does not address adults impersonating children.

Do people under 16 know what a internet forum is?

No. Too much writing. We need Demontiktok. 😁
