It appears the "social media ban for children" that Australia started and other countries are considering are actually not that, but bans on a fairly small set of specific platforms. Not social media as a whole. Is that correct?
Seems to me we could get lots of of those kids into the #Fediverse instead?
I've been corrected. While the AU government has published a list of specific banned platforms, the law is generic, and applies to all social media platforms that meet pretty broad criteria. And those criteria are independent of size or market dominance or features.

Thanks @jaz !
