It seems like a handful of sites havent even switched over. Most are just estimating. Theres no clear indication that the execution has been anything but botched, unless convenience for older people was the only metric.
- rainonmoon 11mo agoThe government have previously stated they won’t pursue breaches unless they’re particularly egregious anyway so this is basically shameless political theatre.
- protocolture 11mo agoABC did a poll of a large number of kids affected by this, and only 6% estimated the legislation would be successful.
- nozzlegear 11mo agoABC polled a cohort that's going through the most rebellious period in their lives and asked them whether they think authority figures can effectively prevent them from doing something they want to do. Had I been asked the same question as a teenager, I would've answered no every single time, regardless of the actual circumstances.

- hashmap 11mo agoThe execution didn't finish; it started. Big policy changes typically take time to solidify, and it'll probably take a bit to get a reliable read on its trajectory.
