Comment on Five young teens on life under Australia’s social media ban: ‘It’s not a big deal any more’

The social media ban doesn’t stop adults from doing anything or make them do anything

Besides have to submit ID documents or a scan of their faces to companies that routinely sell or leak that data… Why do supporters of this law always just ignore that part?

  Doesn’t mean it’s not happening

    True, but you presented your scenario as a sweeping oppression occuring to all Australians in an exceedingly over the top hyperbolic statement.

    What are you talking about? I made a single comment pointing out the reality that “age verification” means giving up private information to companies that has already resulted in many thousands of IDs and face photos being stolen. That’s a fact
    
    And you replying that it hasn’t happened to you is an absolutely pointless thing to say, btw. Doesn’t mean it isn’t happening to others. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen to you

But you don’t in Australia? The digital verification schemes are bad too but they can theoretically be done in a privacy respecting way.

  I can’t access that site with my VPN but I’m aware that the law technically doesn’t say they need to use PII. But that’s how websites are doing it anyway
