The legislation seems to exclude everything for business purposes, if a child is selling skins on Roblox are they then entitled to an account?

It also excludes advertising, if all a user's interactions are being sold by the provider to advertisers and that being their primary business model, does that mean the account is off the hook?

On another note I love the definition for 'material' in the existing act .. shows a rock solid understanding of the internet.

Can't see where they state the definition for 'material', what does it say?

Hahaha it's in the original act and it's hilarious.

material means material:
(a) whether in the form of text; or
(b) whether in the form of data; or
(c) whether in the form of speech, music or other sounds; or
(d) whether in the form of visual images (moving or otherwise); or
(e) whether in any other form; or
(f) whether in any combination of forms.

Pretty impregnable net the legislative writers have cast there.
