It feels like this is a coordinated ‘long game’ to banning vpns. Kids bypass ‘safety controls’ using a vpn, therefore vpn must be banned to keep kids safe
It is, and the purpose is to prepare for war. In each country the excuse is different, but in all of them people are getting an everincreasing restriction on internet use. See UK for reference
Would like to see how many companies function without VPN …
Couldn’t do my job without VPN/Wireguard
They would blacklist consumer VPN IPs and block payments to them, not prevent you from logging in to a corp network.
It’s rather easy to setup a VPS with a VPN.
so that law would again pretty much accomplish nothing
Politicians and IT… Always a dream team
Yeah but you forget, the laws of mathematics don’t apply here.
So clearly Australia has some strong influence such that they could pull this off!
Australia can still require VPS providers to log IPs. This is the country with the backdooring law, common sense does not apply seemingly.
First off, I can’t believe YouTube described its content as “high-quality”, because most of it isn’t. Second off, what the hell did Google expect? They’ve been doing a piss-poor job at reviewing their content for years and even when they actually do, they don’t do it because they want to make the platform more comfortable for kids to use or anything virtuous like that, it was to make the advertisers happy. So yeah, now the governments are involved, tough shit.
Probably high quality compared to Instagram and tiktok
Not exactly a high bar to clear.
au contraire, Youtube shorts are still inescapable hot garbage
Ya not wrong
If parents won’t do it, someone has to. I have young daughters and the sexist shit that youtube keeps showing young boys has me so nervous for their futures. Youtube in my house is only accessible on the living room TV where I am fully aware of what they are watching.
Its pretty good when Google gets angry. Degoogle yourself
Are they replacing it with OyYouCuntTube?
