As of today: No social media for Australians under 16.

Also as of today: Every Australian under 16 installs a dodgy gratis #VPN that spies on them and sells their digital lives to #adtech sharks.

Wow, if you search for signal messenger on DuckDuckGo using Chrome, the actual @signalapp web site is the *third* entry following ads for “Signal Private Messenger – Free Download” that leads to the site appmaus.com and “Get Signal Messenger | Install Signal App” that leads to the site filelocations.com.

DuckDuckGo should be held criminally liable for anyone who ends up downloading malware because of this.
