Australia's Planned Social Media Ban to Include PSN

https://reurl.cc/XRvyOE

Australia's current Labor government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese,plans to impose strict rules on teenagers' use of social media. With broad
support from the states and both major parties in agreement, the Online
Safety Act could pass before the end of the year, likely being introduced in
2025. It would restrict teenagers under 16 from accessing online platforms
like Facebook or X, but that's just for starters; Aussie teens will be cut
off from broader, ubiquitous platforms like YouTube and, perhaps most
devastating of all, the PlayStation Network (as well as Xbox Live).

由總理Anthony Albanese領導的澳洲現任工黨政府計劃對青少年使用社群媒體實施嚴格
的規定。在各州和主要政黨的廣泛支持下，《線上安全法案》可能會在今年年底前通過
，並可能在2025年推出。澳洲青少年將被切斷與YouTube等廣泛的平台聯繫，也許最具
破壞性的是PlayStation Network（以及 Xbox Live）

Now, all of this is obviously not great for Aussie teens who deserve
unfettered access to (if nothing else) the PlayStation Network, and this
Aussie scribe is not a fan. While the plan sounds draconian, international
readers should know that the government in question is largely inept and has
no idea how this proposal will be enforced.

Aussie outlet Press Start has been keeping tabs on the situation. More
information was posted ahead of the weekend, outlining the government's broaddefinition of what a "social media service" is, as per the Online Safety Act:

The sole or primary purpose of the service is to enable online social
interaction between two or more end-users;
The service allows end users to link to or interact with some or all of the
other end users;
The service allows end users to post material on the service.

澳洲媒體Press Start一直密切關注事態發展。週末前發布了更多信息，概述了政府根據《在線安全法》對“社交媒體服務”的廣泛定義：

該服務的唯一或主要目的是實現兩個或多個最終用戶之間的線上社交互動；
該服務允許最終用戶連結到部分或全部其他最終用戶或與之互動；
該服務允許最終用戶在該服務上發布資料。

Albanese's plan is to hold social media companies accountable, mandating thatthey "take reasonable steps to block people under 16" from accessing them andimposing flaccid fines on offenders. The "maximum fines are less than a
million dollars," which is pocket change for these massive corporations.

總理Anthony Albanese的計劃是讓社交媒體公司承擔責任，要求它們「採取合理措施
阻止16歲以下的人」訪問這些社交媒體，並對違規者處以“最高罰款不到一百萬美元”
的罰款。

Of course, offending Aussie teens and their parents will face no punishment
for breaking or circumventing these rules, and so the ungovernable Australianpublic will immediately flout them. Hilariously, the Labor government won't
or can't specify the technical method it will use to verify age. Burning all
of its goodwill amongst younger voters to appease their elders, we’d bet it
will cost them the next election.
