Australia: “Everyone to be Age Verified for Social Media”
November 20th, 2024Where this path leads…
Via: Information Age:
The federal government has confirmed its forthcoming youth social media ban will require Australians of all ages to confirm their age when accessing social media.
Last week, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese affirmed the government will be ploughing ahead with its plans for a social media ban preventing under-16-year-olds from accessing such platforms as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X and video streaming platform YouTube.
The unprecedented ban has drawn swathes of criticism – not only for threatening pivotal community and educational resources for youth social media users – but also for the logistics of how it will be implemented.
During a Senate Committee hearing last week, Greens senator David Shoebridge probed the means of delivery for an age-based social media ban – revealing the technology currently trialled for the initiative would effectively require users of all ages to run through an age assurance check.

Via: The War Zone:
Ukraine has used the U.S.-made Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) for the first time against a target inside Russia, according to U.S. officials, as well as military sources in Russia and Ukraine. The confirmation comes soon after Moscow warned that the use of Western-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine against Russia could trigger a nuclear response after Russian nuclear war plans were updated.
…
The ATACMS strike is said to have targeted a munitions storage facility near the town of Karachev in the Bryansk region of western Russia, early this morning. The target is around 70 miles from the Ukrainian border. The ATACMS short-range ballistic missiles can hit targets up to about 190 miles away, while earlier variants feature a shorter range.
…
After the policy change was announced, Russia issued a series of threats, although talk of any kind of military response had been expressed in only vague terms.
Today, however, Moscow has said that the use of missiles like ATACMS against Russia could lead to a nuclear response, as part of a newly unveiled nuclear doctrine.
Speaking at his regular daily press briefing, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Ukraine’s use of Western-supplied conventional missiles against Russia could be met by Russian use of nuclear weapons — although the kinds of targets were not specified.
Peskov said that the Kremlin considers the use of nuclear weapons to be an extreme measure, but that updating the doctrine was a necessary response to the current political situation.
