1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: This is the Fitsy and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: You're going over to New York? Now are you going

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: over next week? We're going over very quick to the

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: United Nations. This is in New York for thirty six months.

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: Huge press release.

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what it's like when the United Nations

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: call fits happens each week. I get a call and

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that number and they go bloody United Nations.

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: They're on the phone again. No, this is a special

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: one and this should be a real moment of national pride.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: This has all to do with thirty six months and

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister's stance and the Commonwealth saying to big

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: Tech that we're going to put Australian families first. We're

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: going to put Australian teenagers and the well being of

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: them first. So this is the new social media laws

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: which will come into action and into play on the tenth.

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: Of December this year. But see, this is the thing.

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: It's not just Australia.

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 2: You're going to be meeting with world leaders and policymakers

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: to see if they would do something similar in their countries.

21
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they called as well and said we need you there. No,

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: the idea that we're there is We're obviously played a

23
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: part in making sure that the message was heard, and

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: we represent one hundred and fifty thousand people that sign

25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: the petition, myself and Rob Galuzzo from Finch and it

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: should be a moment of pride. You know, the Prime

27
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: Minister has made a really brave decision to take on

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: big tech is a big thing.

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 3: And it's our boy going to be there.

30
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: Yes, he's going to be there. So the event will

31
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: take place at the United Nations. There's world leaders that

32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: are invited to be part of it and also people

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: of influence to let them know. And I think this

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: is the important part that you know what, you can

35
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: put your foot down and you can put the teenagers first.

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: We know that it is having a devastating effect on

37
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: our teenagers. That's the big thing. Fits And we've got

38
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand mums and dads that assigned

39
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: the petition who have said this is the this is

40
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: a major concern in our household right now and we

41
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: need to change things.

42
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Okay, So the biggest question that everyone's saying is December ten,

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: it kicks in. So I've got a twelve year old

44
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: at home who wants to get on Snapchat. So from

45
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: December tenth, how is this going to roll out? So

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: how is he going to get a Snapchat account or

47
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: can he?

48
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: And what are you going to put into place on

49
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: that date? Whip.

50
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Well, look, there's nothing that is a silver baller in

51
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: this situation. The law needs to change and then the

52
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: behavior needs to change. That's the important things thing. There's

53
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: three ways you could do it. Those fits. One is

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: some sort of ID Now the government has come out

55
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: and said that they will not ask for any further

56
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: identification because people are obviously nervous about putting any further

57
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: details into these platforms, so they've said that's not what

58
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: it's going to do. The other one is the estimate

59
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: of your age. That's the second place. So the social

60
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: media platforms have got the technology based on your appearance

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: to narrow it down within the year of your age.

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: TikTok proved this over a year ago and they identified

63
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: seventy million people that were underage on their platform. Million

64
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: of them were in Australia. The next one is your

65
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: behavior online. So if you're sixty years old and you're

66
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: on Instagram, well there's a good chance you're going to

67
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: be chatting to somebody or your interests might be caravanning

68
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: around Australia.

69
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: Well you're not playing roadblocks. I know you're not.

70
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: So you're if you're spending more time looking at K

71
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: pop demon hunter content, well there's a good chance you're

72
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: going to be a younger plus. So if you can

73
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: combine the look technology, your appearance and your behavior, that

74
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: helps narrow it down. So for somebody, let's say Lenny's

75
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: on there and he's underage, if he's identified by the platform,

76
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: and that's the expectation for the government, if he's identified

77
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: on the tenth of December to be underaged, then his

78
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: account will be closed.

79
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: See the other what we need to talk about though,

80
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: it's for any parent out there.

81
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: It's not just about the ID and all this kind

82
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: of stuff.

83
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: I know that there's a lot of people saying it

84
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: is because if kids want to get.

85
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: On there, they'll find a way to do it. The

86
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: big thing is for all parents out there is.

87
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: That you can now say to your child it's I'm sorry,

88
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: but it's just now illegal. You've got to be sixteen

89
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: before you can get a social media again, and you

90
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 2: need to.

91
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: Put yeah, you need to pull back the lens two

92
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: fits and go. This is not the absolute solution here,

93
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what. By the time Ted is thirteen,

94
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: by the time my five year old Francesca is thirteen,

95
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: this will be the new behavior. So we have to

96
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: look beyond what the tenth of December will be. But

97
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: I hope, I do you proud In New York Man,

98
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: it's not too late to get.

99
