Comment on Australians soon facing age checks when viewing adult websites
Nath@aussie.zone 5 hours agoI haven’t seen email mentioned in the legislation. I suppose you could interpret Gmail/Hotmail etc as web sites you make accounts on in order to interact with something public. But that’s a stretch and it wouldn’t cover all email.
Email would suffer the same issue as Lemmy. Even if you have a perfect way of verifying users that is accurate, you couldn’t stop a kid setting up a mail service on their homelab.

I’m trying to work out since it affects search engine signins would it affect Gmail.

I really hope you’re right because fuck that.
As for messaging (assuming that’s texts) the phone company should already have my age.
