Fediverse@lemmy.world•How will Australia's ban on youth access to social media affect instances hosted in Australia?English
32·2 days agoThat’s a lot of text just to say “I’m an idiot who loves bending over for the government”.
How are they going to enforce any of that on a company with no office in Australia? Answer: They can’t.

5·3 days agoThe second half of your comment is redundant. Not knowing where the user is from is THE WHOLE POINT of TOR and VPNs in general. It just proves that this whole internet censorship thing is doomed to fail. It just forces people to find a work-around that the government doesn’t control.
But hey, if the government wants to waste time and money pissing into the wind they can go for it, let’s see where that gets them.

8·3 days agoYeah.
So far, changing my DNS has worked fine for me. I’ve had no requests of ID from any of the socials.

94·3 days agoThen how am I still able to access youtube, facebook and all the others without needing to give them my ID?
Edit: Nice alt accounts, loser.

9·3 days agoThat’s also a good choice, there are others too. I would suggest to everyone look around for a good generic DNS provider.

72·3 days agoDon’t give them anything, that instance is run by the worst parts of r/australia. They cannot be trusted.

244·3 days agoTo my fellow Aussies:
The social media ban works through DNS, just change your DNS to either 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 in your router settings and browser setting. I’ve had no problems so far, but if that doesn’t work you can always use TOR or another VPN service.

14·12 days agoAre they marked on a map? Are they recognized by any other nation (not including by their own)?
If not, then they aren’t a nation.
Edit: Just to be clear, Canadian citizens DO have the right to challenge their government. American citizens, however, Don’t get a say in the matter. This is between Canada and IT’S citizens, not the citizens of another, entirely separate country.

26·13 days agoIsn’t Alaska part of the US? Why are they fighting this in a Canadian court?
US citizens in Alaska don’t get a say in the affairs of another, sovereign nation like Canada.

That’s what I’m worried about, too. It’s a slippery sloop, one that I think we should all stay well away from.
