How would you police that? It's one thing to get people to answer anonymous surveys, but another to determine that a household had a unregistered and underage user.

According to a brief search, the main mechanisms of circumventing the law seem to be vpns, false identities, and moving to platforms currently out of scope for the legislation like Discord and ironically Roblox, given its reputation.

As side notes, the Australian legislation does include fines.

Also, the e-safety report for the titular claim includes usage of social media platforms not prohibited by the legislation.

Same way one does most crimes. Start with complaints. Parents reporting their kids being taken advantage of is a precedented responsibility. After that, let the fourth estate and concerned citizens screenshot offending accounts. (Or hell, give kids an incentive to self report.)

How would you police that?

Well for starters you would not. Not the internet police anyway.

It is up to the parent to decide when their child is mature enough for mature content. If a police officer gets called to a situation they ask if the minor should be on the internet. Parent answers yes or no. If there is some manor of legal fallout as a result of them being online then it is just like we handle it today. If law enforcement get called they do their job and investigate what happened and gather details. Law enforcement have already arrested countless numbers of Reddit moderators, predators and all manor of other unstable people. The body-cam videos are great. If required they call in social services to interview the parents and children. This has already existed for some time. The internet does not require anything new. If the parents are facilitating a child using the internet when they are clearly not ready then the parents could be fined, have their children taken away, arrested, etc... depending on the circumstances and number of repeat incidents. The courts can handle family issues like they always have. If the child is being bullied the court can issue a restraining order. If a groomer is stalking the child the police can meet up with the groomer.

As for Discord they will likely be left alone just like 4chan as it is a great place to log what everyone is saying both text and even better, silently transcribed voice.
