I still don't see the ugly contradiction. The guy was caught and shunned by the general public regarding their actions, the guy could've used a video camera and it would be no different. Again, just because a group of adults have

Lets say that was true legally, its certainly frowned upon and you will be shamed for being an adult blatantly filming underage girls on a train without their permission or reason. Which is why others on the train were not happy with it.

Well your ability and areas you can shame people might be limited until you're of age. I'm not asking "what do we do" but that plenty of people write articles poking holes in current policy or suggested future policy, bu

You don't need to convince me, my point was that they can have them but with limited capabilities, like only being able to SMS and call.

My question to these sorts of articles is, okay so what do we do then? What do we do when we know that social media it not healthy for kids. Its not good for their attention spans or mental health to a much greater degree than other forms o

Well that's the question isn't it, agency but to what extent. It makes sense to allow teenagers to have more agency over themselves than a 10 year old, but clearly there is an argument for limiting their agency on social media pla

Is the alternative to then let goods be stolen, have shops lock products away and consume police resources trying to track people down that they have average footage of? We can think worst case scenario for everything and not doing anything

I don't think the above commenter disagreed with the need for regulation and the justification for it in this context. But that regulation isn't just for the things you think should be regulated and everything else shouldn't

The only difference with the US is that you have interest rates for the term of your mortgage whereas in Australia we can only lock in an interest rate for up to 5 years. So not only are house prices up, but interest rates are also through

This is really cool, however as someone interested in it when I went to the British GP race it is telling me I need to "Sign in to Unlock" to various levels of analytics, but I don't know what I am signing up to see. It would

In Australia if you had purchased a decently priced property around COVID time you could now likely be considered a millionaire based on the property valuation and your income.

Yep completely agree. I lived with about 5 people and our internet was 500mbps and it was more than enough. Looking at the network monitor the only need for anything really above 100mbps was when people wanted to download something. For dai

From my experience with SD cards in mobile phone when I worked in a Telco, most customers didn't actually know how to use them. Because in many cases plugging in the SD card didn't magically increase the base storage of the device

I think console players are going to enter the era PC gamers did over a decade ago, but this time it will feel forced as opposed to happening naturally as it did with PC's. Heck, I have games I bought digitally over 2 decades ago that

I agree with this as a PC gamer. Every game I have purchased on Steam still exists to be played, apart from those where multiplayer servers may have diminished naturally. If I had these games as physical copies I'd need to have lugged

I agree there is a balance, if the separate device gives you more functionality and enhances the experience over the mobile phone, then I can understand the benefit. I have a Kindle as well as I find the iPhone screen way too small to read

Regulators already decide certain content you can see through age rating restrictions (M15, R18+ etc) and has been the case for decades. Its just that no such ratings has been extended into online content, which is the issue.

I think you can look at all things pessimistically, like this article does but at the end of the day we all agree that there are things online we don't want our kids seeing or engaging with and it takes regulators to push how we protec
