It actually doesn't say they must verify ID. It says "reasonable steps". Actually, it says they must NOT verify ID unless they also have a way to do it without verifying ID. The fine for requiring an ID upload is the same as the fine for letting minors on the platform (30k penalty units, whatever that means).

Of course, nobody is sure what "reasonable steps" actually means, other than a selfie or ID upload.

Here is the text of the bill: https://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/search/display/display....

A penalty unit is an inflation-indexed, revenue-indexed fine.
