Hilariously I heard a news article about the new laws passed that now require age verification on all adult sites as well as social media ... swept in by the Govt without any fanfare. It then follows that the highest number of VPN's purchased & setup across the country happened almost immediately !

We are not the first country to ask for age verification to access adult sites - it's been happening in Germany, UK and several US states. Canada looks likely to follow very soon.
 
Porn won't be an issue, there will always be ways around it - eg unauthorised sites, VPNs to obscure countries, torrenting etc.

The bigger impact might come from this web reaching advertising platforms like E&B, Locanto, or even LTs! Some might be happy to create throwaway accounts to register but tying their own ID to that account will likely be a bridge too far. It will hurt WLs more than punters IMO

Can you legally gamble online without verifying you're over 18 in Australia?

Apparently so, saw an ABC report the other day that minors are responsible for about $18M per annum in gambling, although a lot of them are accessing from their parents' accounts.
 
The new age verification is a pain in the arse. Every time I go into X I have to do the grok selfie check before I can access anything if an adult nature. Every so often it says ready verified and gets locked in a loop.

Porn hub won’t me in at all and are not accepting any new registrations from Australia.

Might be time to get a VPN

I just bought one, and works well. You can watch other regions Netflix as well if that sweetens the deal

If you are on X having trouble accessing posts that are asking for age verification click on the User name and go to their home page and then click on “media” and it displays all their photos and videos including the ones you supposedly can’t access without age verification. Worked for me the other day seeing Sarah from Thornlie latest post. Somewhat weird but there you go.
 
But little Johnny can take dads credit card and get on Bet365 and get his MULTI ion this weekends round 2 AFL matches, and if his picks are up at half time and loose MONEY BACK... up to $100 of course.. and how many gambling ads do you see before every sports report on commercial TV...

Gambling all OK
PUSSY bad.... I get it that pussy is addictive and all, but without Pussy life is rather boring..
