These adjustments are mandatory in the EU. Keep in mind however that the intended use for this angle adjustment is for when the rear axle of your car is under full load and the headlight pointing upwards. You should not adjust the headlights otherwise. Especially at higher speeds, you need to be able to see far enough ahead in the dark.

While Australia’s new legislation is ham-fisted and poorly thought out, the intent isn’t wrong and there’s broad consensus for it (77% approval in Australia). We need to do something about the uncontrolled exploitation, manipulation and endangerment of minors by social media services. Corporations are clearly not interested in protecting them and parents are obviously incapable of it as well (although I could have told you the same thing 20 years ago). That’s precisely the kind of issue where the government is supposed to step in with regulation of some sort.

There are existing systems that use a digital token created with the ID document. Only this token that confirms the user’s age is sent to the social media site, which means its minimally privacy invasive. Unfortunately, it seems like nothing like this is planned to be used in Australia.

They can also be infiltrated with sockpuppets far more easily, like Russia has been doing for a long time now.
