Digital ID in Australia: a very timely discussion given the recent - and world first - Under 16 Social Media ban requiring proof of age of all Australians.

Always interesting to hear updates from the land down below! I kind of worry avout y'all in general though... Hope y'all can manage to ditch the governmental creeps that seembto be infesting your parliament.
We are descendant from prisoners and jailers. Most of the population still has those genetics front and centre.
Someone needs to create a zero knowledge crypthografically decentralized digital id, where the websites and platforms will only know if age>16=true and digitalid = official. If they where really interested in protecting children, that is. I belive it is the only option to correct this wrong. Play their game but present a privacy focused solution, and call their game. It must as well be open source for transparency with zero metadata collection.
If it really was about the children, this would be a solution that would respect everyone. But we all know that the children are just an excuse for control.
Personally, there are only two types of internet bans I'm okay with: this sort (no social media under 16) and porn. The latter is far more important to ban, however, because the 16+ social media thing is difficult to ban without implementing required ID verification for all users (which is something I'm very much AGAINST). Again, porn sites SHOULD require ID verification at the very least, if we can't ban it outright, but regular social media should not.
