MODERATORS
These rules really worry me. I think it's really good in theory and we should be protecting kids more, especially from the big personalised algorithms of Facebook, Tiktok, and the like. Curated feeds like that of Lemmy and Reddit concern me less.
But the issue is…how do you prove age, while still enabling people the right to anonymity? I don't want to give my ID to Facebook.
Ah, another well-thought-out tech law from OzGov in the vein of such hits as 'The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia' and the AssAct. I swear we're the designated test ground for dodgy laws for the five (7,13,etc) eyes...
Congratulations you just stumbled onto the plan to enforce online IDs through mygov! Inspired by South Koreas authoritarian governments requirement for a citizen Id to access online services.
Huh?
Force ids is the only way. Hopefully that means less adults use them too. What they do with your actual I'd is less nefarious than what they do with your data or feed.
