With a [70% non-compliance rate](https://www.esafety.gov.au/sites/default/files/2026-03/SocialMediaMinimumAgeComplianceUpdateMarch2026.pdf), that isn't entirely surprising.
Platforms are even *less likely* to implement real reforms that the author alludes to.

Similar thing happened where I live with porn. Recently passed a law requiring ID. Instead of complying, I just started going to different websites. No way am I giving up my identity to a sketchy porn site, no matter what the law says.

I still think it's a step in the right direction. Once you make it illegal for children to use social media, you can start going after the platforms for knowingly manipulating children.
