" #Australia says it can’t go it alone on #SocialMediaBan for kids" is the "Help us open Hormuz" of tech policy:

Doing the wrong thing despite everyone telling you it ain't the solution and then complaining about others not helping when you fail.

Even the Australian rep to the #EU now admits that we need "substantive, enduring change globally to the algorithms and a change to the design behaviours of big tech companies," according to Politico.

Sad they only realise it now.

@thomasjorgensen Yes, it *seems* logical but unfortunately it isn't effective or fair. Social media is not like cigarettes or alcohol.
