Young Australians’ perspectives on the social media minimum age legislation [Report]

📘New Report: Young Australians’ perspectives on the social media minimum age legislation📘

With the #socialmediaban for teens kicking in on 10 December, hearing their perspectives on it, and social media generally, is so vital!

Thank you! I'm stoked!

BARRIE AND YOU!!!! I *love* the sound of sexuality and civics education pedagogies, what a fantastic project, HUGE congratulations to you!

Thank you, thank you to @brkeogh.bsky.social Robbie Fordyce @hmberents.bsky.social @bradyjay.bsky.social @dangolding.com Paul Long, Zala Volcic, Kerry O'Brien for their mentorship and support through the process ♥️

It is such an achievement to even submit one of these applications. So many researchers didn't get entirely worthy projects up, which is tough to bear and does not reflect the hard work and intellectual effort of the process.

So happy, and a bit overwhelmed, to find out my DECRA project, 'Social, ethical and regulatory challenges in the social media porn industry', has been awarded. What an immense privilege to have the next three years to dedicate to research!

Thank you so much Axel!

This is SUCH a good question

Really rich, thoughtful work from scholars of creator visibilities, a wonderful keynote on platform epistemologies from Kelley Cotter, and the opportunity to present my own work on OnlyFans

Thanks, Eileen. He had a good death - said goodbye to his family and chose how he went out ❤️

Omg honestly wild that I spent SO much time Getting It Right on that app and logging things correctly but for WHAT. I NEVER looked at a single data point again after the moment I recorded it.

This weekend I'm MCing my first funeral (my grandfather died at 90 years old and I probably do the most public speaking in my family) and the next day hosting a baby shower for a friend. LIFE HEY.

Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube Last fall, heavily influenced by Jonathan Haidt’s extremely problematic book, Australia announced that it was banning social media for everyone under the age of 16. This was already a horrifically …

"Once you’ve built the system to block kids from YouTube, you’ve built the system to block anyone from anything. And that system will be irresistible to future governments with different ideas about what content people need to be 'protected' from."

Necessary reminder that literally every digital media expert in the country have been saying exactly this since this whole sorry ordeal started. None of this is a surprise.
