The law will make platforms including TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X and Instagram liable for fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) for systemic failures to prevent children younger than 16 from holding accounts.
Can you please send a picture of your ID to lemmy.world admins so that we can make sure you are not a 15 years old australian kid?
Platforms would not be allowed to compel users to provide government-issued identity documents including passports or driver’s licenses, nor could they demand digital identification through a government system.
So no, ain’t gonna happen.
Can you please make a government internet ID, and connect that to your social media instead?
That way social media companies will know who you really are, and the govt will be able to know what social media accounts are yours. It’s even better that way.
