A major social platform is pushing back hard against regulatory overreach. The company just filed a challenge in Australia's highest court, targeting new laws that would block anyone under 16 from creating accounts. This case could set a massive precedent—not just for traditional social networks, but potentially for decentralized platforms too. If governments can ban teens from Web2 spaces, what's stopping them from extending those rules to Web3 communities? The fight over digital access and age verification is heating up, and the outcome might reshape how we think about online identity verification across the entire internet.

This thing in Australia is a bit interesting—banning users under 16... Does that logic hold up in Web3?

Tsk, here we go again? Once regulators taste the sweetness, they can't stop. Today banning minors, tomorrow it'll be our turn as surfers... The real test for Web3 has just begun.
