This is how you push through universally unpopular legislation. You start with attacks on groups most people don't care about (sex workers), under the guise of something many support (protecting kids). Then you keep increasing the heat until the frog sits in boiling water.
Don’t worry adults! You can still use social media. Just hand over your ID, AI facial scan, passport, birth certificate, zodiac sign, birth mark locations, your grandma’s middle name, and a picture of your toes!
Why? Oh uh… to protect the kids of course
>YOU VILL GIVE YOUR FACE AND ID TO SHADY COMPANIES, YOU VILL USE DIGITAL ID, YOU VILL DO AGE VERIFICATION TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA UND YOU VILL NOT COMPLAIN
This ban has nothing to do with protecting children. It is a means to an end for the de-anonymisation of the internet, which is what they've always wanted. Every day, politicians log on here and get called mean words by people with frog avatars, and that really impacts them.

Amazingly they didn’t require a parliamentary majority and royal assent.
