"#Australia says it can’t go it alone on #SocialMediaBan for kids" is the "Help us open Hormuz" of tech policy:
Doing the wrong thing despite everyone telling you it ain't the solution and then complaining about others not helping when you fail.
Even the Australian rep to the #EU now admits that we need "substantive, enduring change globally to the algorithms and a change to the design behaviours of big tech companies," according to Politico.
Sad they only realise it now.
