Loading ...Australia’s “Social Media Ban” is Digital ID via the backdoor
Earlier this month Australia’s government announced plans to ban anyone under the age of sixteen from using social media.
But that’s not what it’s really about. It’s really about digital identity and removal of anonymity. Think about it – how do you enforce banning anyone under 16 from social media? Well, you need everyone to prove their age before starting an account.
How do they prove their age? Why, with a new Australian government backed digital identity of course.
Perhaps the one that was created by an Act of Parliament in May and is due to come online on December 1st.
