Which means we need to somehow adhere to whatever the government deems necessary to confirm our userbase’s ages

As I see it, you have three options.

I can’t see any instance outside the country caring about this law. Why should they?

It’s the same as the EU when it creates legislation and says “if you have any European customers, even if they’re not in Europe, you have to comply”. It’s bullshit, and they know it. They can’t even enforce it on non-European companies that do provide a service to people in Europe. This will be enforced by the big guys with a global presence, and it’ll kill off small social media in Australia, while small social media elsewhere will just choose to ignore it.
