Australian eSafety: “It is a ‘dark pattern’ to permit people to 1/ amend mistakes 2/ be in control of information about themselves 3/ be obliged to validate abuse reports”
Clearly the perspective which the Australian eSafety Commissioner brings to the table is “users are untrustworthy scum and must be whipped into control” – basically like MPs, then.
Also: “false negatives” are not a thing and never occur; if an AI declares you to be likely “too young” it cannot possibly be a technological problem.

Australia, and teenage Olympians and other upcoming sports stars are shuttering their Instagrams, likely impacting funding; or handing them over to “parents” to avoid bans
Hopefully handing the accounts over to the parents will not get the parents banned.

eSafety Australia has been issuing informal takedown notices to platforms without due process; it turns out Australian courts don’t appreciate that behaviour
Justice: “So they thought it was appropriate regulatory practice […] to issue an informal notice to X and then claim it is a non-reviewable decision?”
eSafety: “I’m not going to embrace that characterisation your honour…”
Justice: “Yes I can understand why you wouldn’t want to, but that’s nevertheless factually the case isn’t it?”
The full text is even more amazing:
And in a spectacular cameo arising from a very awkward attempt to explain the recent case of FSU Director Reuben Kirkham in Kirkham v eSafety Commissioner, the Court clarified that a complaint under s36(3) did in fact require a binary decision, to either issue a s88 notice (reviewable and subject to a statement of reasons) or to not issue a s88 (reviewable and subject to a statement of reasons).
Accordingly, wasn’t it objective evidence of the fact that the sending of the composite complaint alert to X via the legal request portal constituted a s88 (one of the two outcomes compelled by a complaint under the OSA)?
Justice Beach: “So they thought it was appropriate regulatory practice, not to make a decision to issue a notice, not to make a decision to refuse to issue a notice, but to issue an informal notice to X and then claim it is a non-reviewable decision?”
eSafety barrister: “I’m not going to embrace that characterisation your honour…”
Justice Beach: “Yes I can understand why you wouldn’t want to, but that’s nevertheless factually the case isn’t it?”

Australia: eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant called to testify before US Congress by Donald Trump ally over ‘threat’ to Americans’ free speech | Sky News
Chickens coming home to roost:
Sky News has obtained a bombshell letter from a US House of Representatives committee chairman and ally of President Donald Trump accusing eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant of being a “zealot” and “direct threat” to the free speech of American citizens and requesting she testifies before Congress within two weeks.

"higher daily hours spent on YouTube is associated with greater symptoms of depression"
If depressed people watch #YouTube , then banning it means kids can't get depressed anymore right?
#eSafety commissioner really reaching to justify these bans

#eSafety is requesting feedback from the community and industry on its social media age restrictions regime. Amongst the feedback they are seeking they are looking for possible impacts on privacy and digital rights.
From a digital rights point of view, having more companies involved in age assurance and proliferation of online identification harms users for multiple reasons. We made a submission on this last year and do not support the regime. We intend to make a submission to eSafety representing our ongoing concerns.
What might a private age assurance regime look like, that has some semblance of concern for users' rights online? Perhaps something like Privacy Pass would be worth a look, an IETF-proposed web-capable standard for unlinkable authenticator tokens. Kagi is using this as an option for users to pay for access to its search engine whilst using the service anonymously. Social media operates under a much different model to search where users authenticate to a service and pull down a feed. A Privacy Pass token might allow a pseudonymous user to prove their age without creating a link to their identity.
https://privacypass.github.io/
Some pretty major downsides include significant complexity in implementing such a scheme including multiple independent parties, a requirement for involved users to use a browser plugin and would ultimately still require users to authenticate somewhere for the purposes of age assurance. It seems unlikely that many users would take up such a scheme, opting for a more convenient scan of an ID photo and/or selfies if such a method was offered.
What might a "less bad" age assurance regime look like? Having a lot of options for users to verify their age would be one. A failure could see users being locked out of their accounts. This is age assurance, not identification, and should be treated as such. Organisations that provide age assurance services should be restricted in what they can use the data for and how long it is retained.
Let us know your thoughts on age assurance and how it would impact privacy and digital rights online.

A U.S. judge has overturned an Arkansas law that required #ageverification from all users for online safety citing restrictions on protected speech.
The law "was so vague it was unclear which social networks the law would cover". Sound familiar? The Online Safety Amendment in Australia is quite vague too, potentially applying to any service that allows communication between users. The Australian Communications Minister proposed a "sweetheart deal" for YouTube exempting it from the rules (perhaps YouTube and Google already know enough about their users...)
What impact will such legislation have on the Fediverse? EFA would like to see a broad exemption for digital communities that are not profit-based to avoid any chilling effects on Australian communities and operators, among other exemptions and wider concerns with regards to the legislation.
Australia does not have protected speech like the U.S. does, but we can draw on experiences from other countries and pay attention to both safety and human rights concerns.

When a parent decides to give their teenage child a smartphone (ideally as late as possible IMHO) I am convinced this book should accompany it. As someone that works in child internet safety, I am convinced this book will safe a teenager's life somewhere. Dr Susie Davies' valuable expertise is exactly what teenagers need to read, rather than the rubbish Musk and Zuckerberg will serve them.

"In this bonfire of digital ethics and online safety features, all of us will lose, but our children lose the most."
I fear that that Mr Russell is unfortunately absolutely right. I have worked as an online safety lead in a primary school for over a decade. Children will continue to be the biggest losers as providers race to the bottom in the name of "free speech". #onlinesafety #OnlineSafetyAct #esafety https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3j5kp8501o
