stupid

Giving your personal details to Google or Microsoft is a critical security risk. If my government required me to do that, I'd just stop using the services altogether.

From my understanding of it AT THE MOMENT it's only bing/google and only logined in accounts. But I doubt it'll stay just those two. Thats just how one gets the foot in the door.

Good idea. Kids can use books. They will benefit from books in many ways. Hell I'm even using books to check information on something now rather than search something on Google.

I doubt it'll make kids switch to books

Ve musst treck all of ze people und show our papers ven asked

I don´t think people below 16 should be able to access the internet freely.
Instead there should be a educational safe zone for them and it should only be accessed with guidence from a parent or teacher.

Instead you have untracked safe internet, and if you want the option to see more you can freely choose to be tracked like a animal with a tracking collar

Keep freedom of choice

considering all the pure and utter crap you can easily find using these... yeah, kinda... then again, it´s on the parents to implement safety measures and not on some questionable companies with even more questionable agendas

so, bottom line: NO, not with data handled by companies...

absolutely ludicrous... google isn't going to do that just for australia, they'll just cut them off.

Why would they, when other western countries will probably follow suit? Our own supreme court already upheld states require id for adult sites.

And Eu is doing more crack downs again.

it's australia... not the EU.

they threatened to cut canada off when our government wanted them to promote "canadian content" more, what makes you think they'll overhaul the entire platform just for australia?

To require age verification for their search engines.

Good idea, or terrible idea?

more tyranie from aussie

While it seems like a good idea...

Governments seem to be terrible at keeping such data secure, and commercial companies simply can't be trusted with it.

Kinda sucks that in practice it's just impossible, mostly due to human "error".

so how many people here used google when they were a kid?

anyone? just me?

I mean, I remember when google came out lmao.
