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.

I'm not seeing how this stops kids from communicating with their peers. That seems like a bad-faith argument as they can send an SMS, make phone calls, send emails, meet in-person, play video games, etc. The things many of us grew up doing with our friends.

Families aren't going to move because their teens can't use social media.
