Australian ban on under16s social media (friendica.ginestes.es)

- Ive been spending alot of time driving lately and I heard again about the impending ban on social media for under 16yo children in Australia.

It made me wonder whether there is as opportunity/ use case for #ActivityPub based solutions that allow schools / community groups to offer accounts to their parents - that could be then used by those parents to offer moderated/ controlled child accounts (for their children).

Parent accounts would have vistability and potentially control over who child accounts can follow/conmunicate with. Schools could use it for communication with parents and/or pupils.

Seems like a good solution! I don't know of anything yet, but doesn't seem too far fetched

@ademir I was thinking the child account could be a function/ feature added to #mastodon or #freindica

How would that work? There’s a severely limited amount of safety tools especially for children

@ademir My thought was that child accounts would have contet visable to their parent(s) accounts and would optionally have follows ) / follow requests approved by parents. No posts would be public but limited to followers only
