There is no evidence from Australia that young people currently are migrating to the dark web or other unregulated spaces, but the law in Australia enables the regulator to track the migratory patterns of young people to see where they go next, to identify any unintended consequences and respond, which this amendment enables. This includes responding to any new technology that may crop up. Australia has done work with its youth mental health organisations to ensure that young people can access mental health referrals and support via alternative channels to social media, including hotlines.
