Title: Legal fights are brewing over which online social platforms will have to ban under-16s

(Not Australian government may require age verification for GitHub access - this phrase isn't in the article)

Yeah that's not the title, but it is something which is mentioned in the article and that piece of information is the only reason why I'm posting this here. Restricting access to a code sharing platform based on age seems like something other people on Hacker News would be interested in hearing about.

It's just a human masquerading as a bot, no need to reply to it. If title accuracy was important, it could be automated, but it isn't automated, so it's not important, just a guideline.
