en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Amendment#Pla… …gov.au/…/which-platforms-are-age-restricted eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court. Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service. So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.

    Well Aussie.zone seems to have self-assessed they are, and want you to prove you are over 16 by taking a picture while you are driving, or ordering a beer at the pub. aussie.zone/post/27246692
