Electronic Frontiers AustraliaA U.S. judge has overturned an Arkansas law that required <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ageverification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ageverification</a> from all users for online safety citing restrictions on protected speech.The law "was so vague it was unclear which social networks the law would cover". Sound familiar? The Online Safety Amendment in Australia is quite vague too, potentially applying to any service that allows communication between users. The Australian Communications Minister proposed a "sweetheart deal" for YouTube exempting it from the rules (perhaps YouTube and Google already know enough about their users...)What impact will such legislation have on the Fediverse? EFA would like to see a broad exemption for digital communities that are not profit-based to avoid any chilling effects on Australian communities and operators, among other exemptions and wider concerns with regards to the legislation.Australia does not have protected speech like the U.S. does, but we can draw on experiences from other countries and pay attention to both safety and human rights concerns. <a href="https://gizmodo.com/arkansas-judge-kills-social-media-age-verification-law-says-it-violates-the-first-amendment-2000583628" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gizmodo.com/arkansas-judge-kills-social-media-age-verification-law-says-it-violates-the-first-amendment-2000583628</a><a href="https://aus.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/esafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#esafety</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/electronicfrontiersaustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronicfrontiersaustralia</a>

AndrewR(Reposting from a comment)The <a href="https://bne.social/tags/eSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eSafety</a> Commissioner, Julie Inman-Grant, has largely had a career in Big Tech prior to her current appointment, and as such, a Big Tech view of the world.Big Tech would love to make users entirely reliant on platforms for perceived safety and <a href="https://bne.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a>. (That is using a relatively narrow definition of both privacy and safety which doesn't include "privacy and safety from my provider"). Julie Inman-Grant's policy recommendations have been consistent with Big Tech's vision of giving platforms more control. eSafety needs to be abolished or very significantly reformed. Users need more control over their social media experience, not less.<a href="https://bne.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auspol</a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/electronicfrontiersaustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronicfrontiersaustralia</a>

AndrewRI've made a late submission to the Joint Select Committee on Social Media and Australian Society (whew, long name) about the role of digital ID and age verification for social media, amongst other things.The committee, at the behest of the <a href="https://bne.social/tags/eSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eSafety</a> commish, is investigating mandatory age verification (and effectively Digital ID) for users of social media. But eSafety's definition could encompass all online comms. <a href="https://roffey.au/static/submission-social-media-2024.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://roffey.au/static/submission-social-media-2024.pdf</a><a href="https://bne.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://bne.social/tags/electronicfrontiersaustralia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronicfrontiersaustralia</a>

The laws allow the commissioner to compel major social media platforms to remove material her office deems to be severe “cyber‑abuse material targeted at an Australian adult”. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auslaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auslaw</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auspol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/esafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#esafety</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/onlinesafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#onlinesafety</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Twitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Twitter</a>
