Them asians and aussies have the right idea having gov IDs for internet access

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Aussies aren't giving anyone ID at this point in time

There is currently no solution or implementation for the social media access law

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

There's no solution or implementation, and the law in place actually forbids social media from requiring ID as the means of age verification. But who knows what it'll end up actually looking like, because even the politicians didn't bother figuring that out before passing the law in under a week.

Well they're trending in that direction. Wise move honestly. We haven't evolved to have smart phones or social media, especially children.

You are why humanity will end up with fascist dystopian big brother, and you're probably too ignorant to even understand how or why.

we haven't evolved to live in cities and receive advanced healthcare, either. log off and go disappear in the woods

Yeah, stripping away more anonymity will help, when fascists start doxxing us and coming to our houses with cans of gasoline.

Hilarious you all downvote when it's true. You mostly work in tech and are this ignorant? Wild

Yes good you advocate for such a perfect world where everybody's online activity can be constantly tracked. Fuck yeah, surveillance states rock! I love it when laws exist that require me to offer my full name, dob and address to every shady website in existence! /s

In regards to you coming to a tech forum, making tech commentary, and then thinking everyone else is ignorant for disagreeing with you, might I offer you some light reading?
