Tech platforms will need to deactivate accounts for users under 16 and stop teens from making accounts until they are that age, or face fines of up to $50m
Yeah, just look at Discord. Not only harvesting data, by sharing it with “trusted partners” I was told the Esafety commissioner can bring legal action to find companies up to $850k per offence for improperly storing Australian citizens data, but I haven’t heard anything about hundreds of millions in fines against Discord yet.
I honestly doubt it. They’ve got very little to gain from it, and huge risk to reputation if they do it and then get hacked.
They don’t care about reputation in any way. It’ll be a small fine of a few million and they’ll rub their hands for that cheap data.
