Having a look at the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Bill, just released today in Australia. Both sides of government appear to support it.

The bill targets "providers" of age-restricted platforms, requiring them to take "reasonable steps" to prevent underage (under 16) access.

This gets me excited about Nostr:

- Nostr doesn't have a centralised provider or entity that could comply with these obligations.

- If a relay or instance of Nostr is primarily used for social interactions, it might fall under the "age-restricted social media platform" definition. But without a central entity, enforcing compliance becomes impractical, if not impossible.

In short, there's no way (that I'm aware of) to enforce age restrictions or privacy obligations in respect of Nostr.

Spread the word.
