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

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
