Major platforms are also starting to directly confront regulatory policies? A well-known social media platform has filed a lawsuit against Australia's youth social media ban and is simultaneously seeking a legal exemption. The underlying issue here is quite interesting—the platform argues that the policy is too broad, while the government insists on protecting minors. Similar regulatory storms are spreading worldwide, from the EU's DMA to various countries' data privacy laws, with the battle between platforms and regulators becoming the new normal. For the Web3 ecosystem, this is also a warning: how to find a balance between innovation and compliance is key to future survival. It seems that whether in Web2 or Web3, no one can escape the long arm of regulation.

Laughing to death, big platforms are now starting to wrestle with the government. This is going to be interesting. --- When regulation comes, they say innovation is being restricted. I've heard this line from project teams too many times. --- Web3 trying to hide to escape regulation? Dream on, the long-arm regulator has already set its sights on you. --- Platform: We need freedom to innovate. Government: We need to protect children. This battle is a bit philosophical. --- It seems like no one can escape, right? Neither retail investors nor platforms. --- From the EU to Australia, the whole world is putting a stranglehold on the internet. If Web3 wants to survive, it must first learn to pretend to be compliant. --- This is what we call a shared destiny, everyone. Web2 is being hammered, and Web3 shouldn't laugh too early.

The platform dares to directly confront regulators this time, now this is interesting. But to be honest, the Australian ban was indeed a bit harsh, though protecting minors can't be ignored. Web3 is still in the exploration stage. Learning from big companies on how to deal with regulators is also a good idea. Really, who can escape the claws of regulation? Instead of fighting it, better to plan ahead. Looking at this DMA situation, it seems the platform's days are getting harder and harder. How to balance innovation and compliance? That’s the unresolved problem. Regulatory long arm has become a settled matter. Adapting early is the best approach.

Haha, even the big platforms are scared now and have started to oppose the government. But to be honest, protecting minors and platform interests is a deadlock; there's no room for compromise. When will Web3 figure out compliance? Right now, it's all about walking in the dark. Regulations are truly everywhere; there's no escaping them. It's really just a money issue—no one wants to move their cheese. The DMA regulations should have been implemented long ago; the problem is the slow action. Australia’s ban is indeed harsh, but what can the platforms do by suing? In the end, they still have to compromise. For Web3 to truly emerge, it needs to proactively comply, not be forced into it. Currently, it's all guerrilla warfare. Who would have thought that even big platforms could be pushed into a corner one day? It’s hilarious. How to balance compliance and innovation? It’s easy to talk about but hard to do; basically, it’s an impossible task. Youth issues are indeed real problems, but banning apps entirely might be a bit over the top, right?

The platform directly confronts the government—it's basically a conflict of interests. Australia's ban is indeed aggressive, but is the platform really doing it for "innovation"? I think Web3 shouldn't be too optimistic; the regulation iron fist will come down sooner or later.

This platform is really pushed to the limit, using the law as a weapon to confront the Australian government. To be honest, it’s still driven by interests. --- If Web3 truly wants to survive, it must learn this lesson early. Don’t wait until you’re hammered and then regret. --- Regulation-wise, platforms complain that the government is too broad, the government blames platforms for lack of self-discipline, and everyone just pass the buck. No one has a solution. --- In fact, it’s the big players using money to test the legal departments. In the end, we small users are the ones who suffer. --- What sounds nice is balancing innovation and compliance; what’s less nice is platforms wanting to keep reaping profits without taking responsibility. --- DMA, privacy laws, and all these regulations are coming at us relentlessly. Web3 really needs to quickly come up with countermeasures, or it’s game over. --- Haha, the Australian government is quite strict—banning teenagers from social media directly. That policy is indeed a bit extreme. --- It seems that the term "regulatory long arm" will become a standard phrase in the industry from now on; there’s no escaping or avoiding it.
