something that's come up a few times -- I've had people say it's inevitable that people will use a VPN to get around any domestic social media ban. In my experience, it's not that easy, at least when it comes to one big tech player

@camwilson

The Australian government has all of my personal information through MyGov.

Last week I found that the account had 14 attempts to access over a few days (which their system didn't tell me about).

So, having my information to show I'm over 16 will just be another source of data ripe for a breach. In fact, I'm fully expecting it.

@camwilson

Not sure about Instagram but Facebook can be accessed using tor. It even has a .onion address. No way they'd know where you're logging in from then.

@camwilson That claim that one quarter of Australians use a VPN seems surprisingly high.
