Teen Social Media Ban is a Trojan Horse for id checks for all Social Media use

What @AlboMP and @PeterDutton_MP are proposing is a national social media age verification scheme.

To put it plainly, every Australian is going to have to prove their age when they go online in a way that they never have before. Maybe it’s by showing government ID, a digital ID, a credit card, or some other way — whatever the method, it’s an intrusion that’s going to be felt by each of us.

The teen social media ban isn’t just a policy about children using the internet — it’s about how we all use it. That’s why we need to call it what it is: a national social media age verification scheme.

Reject the all controlling duopoly.

The Government tender documents call for “age assurance” (aka Digital ID) tech that includes: facial recognition, voice recognition and digital patterns of behaviour. Is this what you want, Australia?

Reject Daddy government.

Other comments from the Internet and Social Media:

@AlboMP and @PeterDutton_MP are working together to make us all seek government permission to use social media. It’s not just u16, EVERYONE will have to be verified in order to use it! We don’t have a voice or an opposition when they work together.

It’s a Trojan horse. Not about the kids at all. It’s about tracking and controlling the narrative. You will need approval to use social media.

It would seem even tourists will have to provide it to gain access to their emails and internet. This is dumber than a Scamo brainfart.

We were told countless times the digital id would be voluntary. But it isn’t voluntary. In order to use social media you will need to go through a biometric gate.

They did the same thing with the jabs. “We aren’t fighting coming you to take it. It’s your choice” yeah no jab no job.

This is an appalling breach of Human Rights and an Invasion of Privacy.
