As an Australian parent, congratulations: you are the problem.

I for one was on a public panel with politicians discussing how ridiculous this proposal was, a couple of months ago, before it passed.

The government gives all children email addresses while simultaneously banning them from social media. Only a bureaucracy could do this with a straight face.

IMHO as a technology-engaged parent the answer to complexity online (and in the entire world) for young people is education, not "ask the Nanny state to change the rules".
