Companies approached by the eSafety commissioner this month about the requirement to prevent under 16s from holding social media accounts from 10 December have conducted a self-assessment that the commissioner will use to decide if they need to comply with the ban.

eSafety will not be formally declaring which service meets the criteria but companies that eSafety believes meet the criteria will be expected to comply.

    This leads to overzealous blocking because it might be by some interpretation applicable to you/your product.
    Thus you will be blocking in advance just so you don’t face charges.

    Great.

      No it doesn’t. Our tax system works the same way. It doesn’t lead to overzealous deduction denial because people are worried about getting it wrong.

      Its an efficient and transparent approach.
