All those services are wall-gardened so without an account, you already cannot consume the contents.

I feel like people are either arguing in bad faith, or we’re trying to talk to fish about the water. Its so obvious to me that people are going to get their identities stolen and the internet is going to get so much worse that I can’t understand how someone would think otherwise.

That’s a choice made by those services. They can change it.

Why do these services have to lose? That's a choice made by this country's government. They can change it.

They’ll lose revenue in Australia. If more governments copy this move, they’ll lose revenue there too.

That's like saying every government should copy the new tariffs too. If only it was so simple...

> They’ll lose revenue in Australia.

Why is it always 1-way? Australia can also lose people and lose people's interest.

Lol you think people are going to leave Australia because their kids cant go on Tiktok?

[johnisgood]

Well, who knows what they will be doing if it is not Tiktok. Hopefully they will pick up a book, but doubtful. They need a way to communicate with their peers.

No, about half of them (mostly) aren't : Reddit, YouTube, Twitch...

(That's also not what «walled garden» means. You're thinking about «deep web».)
