What kind of moron is elected in the parlement of Australia?

On one side social media can have huge fines if they don't prevent "teenagers" to use social networks, but on the other side the platforms will be banned to require documents to check identity of users...

There are other ways to verify this without uploading id

E.g sign in with bank/gov

It's basically the same, your social account will now be identified/linked to your legal identity and I'm not sure if it not covered by the same amendment.

Verifying someone’s age doesn’t require tying their account to their government identity.

It pretty much does. Or are they aupposed to look at dental x-rays? How else would you know.

		The question isn’t how you determine someone’s age it’s how you verify it. You can verify information without any need to tie the identity in client services to the identity in the verifying authority.

It doesnt have to

Social media can just query gov service with question: is this user above 16 - yes no

		How do you define "this user" in this interaction?
