That's what I'm worried about, too. It's a slippery sloop, one that I think we should all stay well away from.

That's a lot of text just to say "I'm an idiot who loves bending over for the government".

How are they going to enforce any of that on a company with no office in Australia? Answer: They can't.

The second half of your comment is redundant. Not knowing where the user is from is THE WHOLE POINT of TOR and VPNs in general. It just proves that this whole internet censorship thing is doomed to fail. It just forces people to find a work-around that the government doesn't control.

But hey, if the government wants to waste time and money pissing into the wind they can go for it, let's see where that gets them.

Yeah.

So far, changing my DNS has worked fine for me. I've had no requests of ID from any of the socials.

National level site blocking, suspension on any future operations, international courts

Easily circumvented by changing your DNS settings or using TOR or other VPN services

Then how am I still able to access youtube, facebook and all the others without needing to give them my ID?

Edit: Nice alt accounts, loser.

That's also a good choice, there are others too. I would suggest to everyone look around for a good generic DNS provider.

Don't give them anything, that instance is run by the worst parts of r/australia. They cannot be trusted.

To my fellow Aussies:

The social media ban works through DNS, just change your DNS to either 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 in your router settings and browser setting. I've had no problems so far, but if that doesn't work you can always use TOR or another VPN service.
