With the ban going into effect, I thought it might be helpful to allow people to share their experiences about the Australian teen social media ban and how it has affected them.

Note: For the Aussie Zone lemmy requirements, see here. Please use that thread for an Aussie Zone specific discussions or questions.

Good luck, everyone!

No they won't be.

Firstly it is technically impossible. Even China cannot do it.

Secondly, businesses need them for WFH.

Thirdly, the government is not implementing a block themselves. They are trying to pass on the unreasonable onus onto website owners.

    If the website owners do it, then ????

    I already know a heap of VPN servers I can't access youtube or reddit from.

    IP addresses change. Your VPN server will change them (if it is any good).

    Streaming companies routinely block VPNs, as does Reddit. There are security companies which aggregate and maintain lists of VPN IPs, which they sell to such companies. It is possible that use of such services could be made a baseline of “reasonable measures”.
