Comment on Australia’s under 16s social media ban could extend to Reddit, Twitch, Kick, Roblox, Steam, GitHub, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Discord and even dating apps

to those wondering “why Github?” because it’s not about protecting 16 year olds doing pull requests it’s about getting YOUR data/IDs. They don’t know whose under 16 or over 16 to access said sites so they need the IDs of EVERYONE. that’s all this is. it has nothing to do with protecting kids.

If I was a government or some firm that harvets Data I would absolutely drool at potentially having a source that is Github to get said info. I would LOVE to harvest info of developers, coders, etc.
