My question is: What behaviors will come sideways out of this prohibition?

My guess: You can’t outwit a digital native generation. Websites with less concern for the rules in general will become digital hangouts.

I'm excited to see the outcomes. Hats off to Australia for engaging in this experiment.

One unique aspect of social media, as opposed to, say, porn, is it's reliance on network effects. Sure, maybe 25% of kids will use a VPN and log on, but if most of your friends don't care enough to spend their allowance on a VPN, then what's the point?

		Ya that’s true. I guess I’m imagining the “25%” being pushed towards 4chan type environments, and perhaps then a subset of that towards more dangerous environments.
