MODERATORS
They can accept my anonymised digital driver's licence details or they can fuck off.
Anyone got an archive link to the story so I don't have to create a login?
Theoretically, "they" in this story includes us. According to the definition in the bill, aussie.zone counts as social media.
And I personally have zero interest in dealing with government IDs. So, I hope they figure out a way of doing verification before you get as far as the sites themselves. Because while we'll be bound by this legislation, I can't see any other instance out there caring in the slightest about it - why would they? So it'll do diddly-squat.
It's almost like it was poorly thought out and rushed through with little concern for the logistics of it.
That said, the Queensland digital i.d. also has a pretty straightforward verification app as well, and you can verify age with no personal identifiers other than a photo. Not sure about the other states and territories, but it's really not that onerous unless your one of those sovereign citizen nutters.
