None of this passes the sniff test…

> Thursday’s inquiry into the new laws ran for just three hours, with Australians given only a day to lodge submissions.

> The government has said it will rely on some form of age-verification technology to implement the restrictions but the details are vague and the technology has not been finalised.

> The onus will be on social media companies to add age-verification tools themselves.

> The ban involves the highest age limit set by any country, and does not include exemptions for those with parental consent.

> There will be no penalties for parents or children who ignore the rules.

I don’t understand why we are rushing this through?
What is being hidden in the legislation?
How will the age verification work?
How can you determine that I am over the age of 16?
Does this become a way to have a national ID system?

Lots of questions, absolutely no answers!

Does anyone here have any experience with [glass.photo](http://glass.photo), particularly compared to Flickr, and to a lesser degree Instagram? I’m looking for an active photography community, Flickr’s has seemingly died, Instagram’s is ok but I’m anti-Meta, please help? 📸

I quite like edibles, gummies in particular. One takes the sharp edges off of daily life, two give a good nights sleep, and well three, three does something a bit more interesting… 😜
