How does a country effectively enforce this? Below is how they propose doing this. If you don't have any form of verification of your actual age, it's seems like they are just going on what the user says ( self reports). How can a company be found liable if a used lies about their age?
>the days leading to the ban, some teenagers said that they were prompted to verify their ages using a facial analysis feature, but that it gave inaccurate estimates. The law also states that companies cannot ask users to provide government-issued identification as the only way to prove their age because of privacy concerns.

You make them bleed money when you find they are in violation. They either figure it out or they go under as a company. There isn't a natural law saying companies have a right to exist.
Go and read the actual report of what the eSafety commissioner is requiring.
The company can't be found liable if they have put in reasonable age verification technology, particularly if the user lied about their age or found a way to circumvent the restrictions.
They clearly aren't going by just what the user says as the companies have implemented age verification tools that try to do that detection.
How can seatbelts be enforced? This is preposterous and imbecilic- if there isn't a policeman inside every car checking every minute how will we make sure that people are wearing them. Clearly there is no point in trying!
If all the kids start pretending to be grownups, they end up escaping all the protections put in place to protect kids in the first place.
In football we call this an own goal

It's a social network. Most of the draw is for people to share personal information and connect with peers.
So... maybe by monitoring content and investigating reports?
The rare kids who are so reserved and talented to maintain the facade that they never get caught probably deserve to get away with it.

this is an egregious violation of their civil rights.
the law of unintended consequences looms large.
Like what?
Kids not being able to do particular things until they're of age? That's much of an egregious violation of their civil rights.
