Australia’s under-16 social media ban to use hand-waving to verify ages with AI
On orders from the Rupert Murdoch newspapers, the Australian government has passed legislation banning under-16s from social media, on extremely dubious claims of protecting mental health. This is …

Why don't they just hire a wizard to cast an anti-tiktok spell over all of Australia instead? It would be just as workable and I know a guy who swears he can do it for cheaper than whatever server costs they're gonna try and push.
anyone know of an applicable rpg spell here. I want to know how much this would cost
As far as DnD 5e goes, I don't think anything less than Wish would do it and even that is up to DM discretion.
The only other systems I'm comparably closely familiar with are Ryūtama where all it takes is a level 7 Magic type character with 10 MP and summer's seasonal magic (and again, a pliable GM), an hour for the ritual, and up to the length of the campaign for the effect to resolve; and NetHack where I guess a scroll of genocide could let you specify "social media CEO" if such an NPC existed in the game.
ok. this stackexchange answer suggests "at least" 810 gp as the cost for a wizard to cast wish.
the cost of gp has little relation to that of modern currency. but in DND settings a goat costs one gp, and I am just going to bullshit and say goats are roughly as valuable irl as they are in the vaguely 18th century englandish default vibe of dnd. based on this goats as a store of value theory, we need to pay the wizard at least 810 goats.
now the cost of a goat depends greatly on its age and type, but we can guess that the cost of an adult dairy goat will be about 750 USD: https://rurallivingtoday.com/livestock/how-much-does-a-goat-cost/
in Australian dollars, the cost comes out to about $13,000. we now need to consult an Australia expert. @[email protected], is paying a wizard 13,000 Australian dollars to cast a tik tok protection spell over Australia a superior deal to paying an ai company however much to detect age from hand motions?
