Australia's eSafety Commissioner has issued a stark warning that online gaming can inflict "serious harms" on children, according to recent reports. Simultaneously, global technology firm Atlassian has entered into a 10-year agreement to have a solar farm operated by a community cooperative generate electricity for its Sydney headquarters, according to Australian Associated Press.
The solar farm, owned by a coalition of local investors, has secured the deal after years of dedicated effort from committed volunteers. The project's successful fruition stands as a testament to the tireless work of this community-driven initiative.
Atlassian's involvement in this renewable energy venture is seen as a significant endorsement of the company's commitment to sustainability, as reported by news outlets. While some improvements in online safety measures have been noted, including court-enforced contracts with gaming platforms like Roblox, the eSafety Commissioner emphasizes that substantial work remains to be done in curbing potential harm to children in the online gaming sphere.
