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.

I don't understand why the new social media laws aren't causing people suffering under free-speech-hating governments to flee to darkweb social media sites where the laws can't be enforced. I know there aren't many social media sites there for non-criminals, but why aren't individuals with the minimal skills required to make hidden-service sites doing so?
