Comment on Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned
XLE@piefed.social 2 weeks agoI don’t think that uploading a government ID makes anyone safer online, especially when those IDs are guaranteed to be exposed online, and used to abuse people the legal way (through hyper detailed profiles).
Australia also lacks common-sense free speech protections, so it’s easy for powerful people to target anyone they dislike. Just ask Friendlyjordies.

Thats fine, uploading the ID doesnt have to be safer. The parents can judge the risk of their child using that platform and upload their ID to verify if they want. I’m pointing out that the child isnt prevented from communicating with friends or even using social media.

What do you mean, “doesn’t need to be safer”? Because this is just making people more unsafe.
If you trust parents with giving (or not giving) their children access to the internet, then we don’t need a nanny state or ID uploads at all.
