RE: Social Media Ban for Under16's (aka the trojan horse Digital ID for ALL Australians)
So the Federal Labor Gov't have confirmed at Senate Estimates that ALL Australians will have to go through an age verification process to access social media, not just under 16 year olds. They conceded to @DavidShoebridge this is the only way it can work.
This is how I think they are going to try and implement this ban.
1: They will create a list of social media platforms they want to include age restrictions for. How they decide which platforms are on this list is anyone’s guess.
2: They will do what they did with the list of illegal download websites etc and redirect all traffic. But instead of seeing a Copyright Infringement notice this time it will trigger a mandatory MYGovID verification process. They will also try to implement VPN detection technology to stop users getting around this.
3: If you do not pass this authentication method successfully you will be directed to a page saying you must be over 16 to access the social media platform.
4: This method will require anyone who wants to access these listed platforms to have a current MyGovID account.
5: Age restrictions already apply to MYGovID accounts which must be 15 or older so they will have to lift that to 16.
6: Effectively this will mean you can’t access any of the listed platforms/websites without a MYGovID account. I can’t see how any other method would work effectively which means this scheme really is a Trojan horse for a Digital Australia Card.
What will be next? Alcohol sales? Buying a house? Voting? Opening a bank account? Getting Married?
Using MyGovID for accessing Govt services like Centrelink etc is one thing, using to encroach into people’s personal lives is another thing all together.
I truly hope all Australians soundly reject this idea.

@AlboMP You have done some stupid crap since being elected but this is Dutton levels of stupid. Are you trying to hand the LNP the election next year ?
@abcnews All your programming is just liberal dick sucking nowadays you don’t deserve investment but sure as hell need more regulation. Wannabe Murdoch scum
@Optus@optus_help If you are going to outsource your call centers to overseas, at least make them have it so I can hear the operator. Was almost impossible to communicate with them with all the background chatter. Seriously not good enough
@SarahMoloney36@optus_help@Optus@iiNet@Telstra@VodafoneAU Absolutely not worth it. Apparently there are no issues whenever you call up. Never offer reimbursement for poor services. But were more then happy to increase pricing in August offerd me 50GB of data on my phone that I use at home on unlimited net, thats now not getting 5G
@Optus@optus_help any known issues with 5Ghome mobile in Pinjarra WA 6208 ... Keeps randonly dropping 5G connection but keeps 4G, and no I wont be DMing you
@RodFergusson@GameOverGreggy The aggro is well deserved, you told us VOH would be playable a day earlier .. just to have a delay. Told us we can preload ... just to have a sizable patch whenever we can finally get in. Its not good enough, you have been at this for long enough now
@6NewsAU@AlboMP has really turned out to be a turd* of a PM , id rather have Payman in the parliment then him.
* Not as bad as scomo or dutton but still a turd
Listen up you dumb MAGA dipsticks, Donald Trump finally ran out of ways to delay his trial. THAT'S why the Jack Smith filing was released this close to an election. If it were up to Jack Smith we wouldve known about this shit over two years ago.
