The Australian eSafety Commissioner has released new guidance highlighting significant risks to children in online gaming spaces. The advisory emphasizes that interactive features within games can expose minors to serious harms, including predatory behavior and inappropriate content. The Commissioner is urging parents and guardians to take a more active role in monitoring gaming activities and utilizing safety settings to mitigate these risks.

In separate technology news, the software company Atlassian has finalized a 10-year virtual power purchase agreement with the Goulburn Community Energy Co-operative. This deal is designed to support the development of a community-owned solar farm in New South Wales. According to the announcement, the agreement will fund approximately 70% of the solar project’s total energy output over the next decade. The electricity generated will be used to meet the renewable energy requirements for Atlassian’s Sydney headquarters. This initiative marks a significant investment by a major technology firm into local, community-led renewable energy infrastructure.
