"Should Australians be prepared for having their faces scanned to use social media?" The Australian Government announced today it will be illegal for people under 16 to use social media. The question of how social media sites will verify the age of users still hasn't been answered.

Back door to Digital ID? Some are asking if the under-16s social media ban is a backdoor to Digital ID? As far as Kemi and the Conservatives are concerned, absolutely not. We are entirely opposed to digital ID and want to see the ban implemented in a way that doesn’t force mandatory digital ID onto anyone. Proving your age for social media should be no more intrusive than it is for buying alcohol.

Govt officials admit that "there is nothing in the law" that would stop the eSafety Commissioner saying that Digital ID should be used to verify someone's age. Remember, the social media ban applies to children under 16 but to enforce it EVERYONE will need to verify their age.

"Age restrictions on social media have nothing to do with child safety. It will require all citizens to have their ID checked by the government as a gateway to social media. Gateways, once established, can be closed or locked. They can be monitored and controlled. They are turning Digital ID into a passport for free speech ... to protect children? Come on..."

I oppose all age verification laws to use social media, since this will require everyone to ID themselves. I also oppose digital ID that can be used by government to control us. If we don’t stop this now, our freedoms will soon be lost for good!

TEXAS TELLS APP STORES: NO MORE KIDS WITHOUT PARENTS’ PERMISSION Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a new law that makes Apple and Google verify the age of everyone who wants to download apps. Starting January 1, kids under 18 will need a parent’s approval for downloads and in-app buys. This new law comes as people worry about social media messing with kids’ heads. A Pew poll shows 81% of Americans say kids need a parent’s okay for social media accounts, and 71% want apps to start checking ages. Apple and Google are grumbling. They say it will force them to share your age with every app, even something harmless like a sports scores app. Google says the real problem is social media itself, and wants to keep the focus there. Texas is not the only one doing this. Utah has a similar law, and countries like Australia have already told kids under 16 to keep off social media. So kids, get ready. The app store is about to start asking for your birthdate and maybe your mom’s number too. Source: Reuters

Nigel Farage describes Keir Starmer's under-16 social media ban as an attempt to impose digital ID via the back door. He maintains that the British public should not sacrifice freedoms for a surveillance state that arrests 12,000 people for social media posts annually. "We're all going to have to prove our age... This would mean full facial recognition and going on to a digital register, and I fear that it is digital ID via the back door."

Ursula von der Leyen is a tyrannical witch. The EU will enforce an ID authentication app for social media. When you criticize your government, When you post about REMIGRATION, they will know where to find you, and everyone you love. They BAN social media for children, because they may grow up “FAR-RIGHT” once they find out the truth on 𝕏. We Deutschland Kurier oppose the EU’s totalitarian authority.

Social media ban for youth or the beginning of a digital ID roll out in Australia? What do you think? step 1: Introduce a law that requires age verification step 2: a non mandatory 'recommended' standardisation step 3: Create an "optional" digital ID to simplify compliance step 4: Platforms start requiring the government approved method step 5: expand the ID beyond social media and pressure to make it mandatory step 6: add facial verification / device linking and sell this as 'security and safety' step 7: the worst step- digital ID becomes the gateway to the internet. It becomes a 'digital passport’. The danger of a digital passport is that it can eventually link your medical records, travel, finances, and online identity into one system, giving future governments or corporations too much control. Digital ID starts harmless, but it's the unchecked expansion without accountability or opt out that becomes concerning. Governments worldwide have already talked about: identity based online access anti-trolling / anti disinformation ID removing anonymous accounts tracking online behaviour Be vigilant, awake and trust your intuition 🌹
