tired of living
What are you talking about? I made a single comment pointing out the reality that “age verification” means giving up private information to companies that has already resulted in many thousands of IDs and face photos being stolen. That’s a fact
And you replying that it hasn’t happened to you is an absolutely pointless thing to say, btw. Doesn’t mean it isn’t happening to others. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen to you
I can’t access that site with my VPN but I’m aware that the law technically doesn’t say they need to use PII. But that’s how websites are doing it anyway
Doesn’t mean it’s not happening
The social media ban doesn’t stop adults from doing anything or make them do anything
Besides have to submit ID documents or a scan of their faces to companies that routinely sell or leak that data… Why do supporters of this law always just ignore that part?
This has been well known for decades, and is by design. Agencies and landlords get to collect and sell any data they want, and the renters are told to suck it up or be homeless
Have you tried wiping your browser history or using a different/browser device as well as the VPN? If you’re logged into your account it’s probably already tied that to Australia
Either way though good to see not everyone is submitting to this age verify bullshit. I’ve managed to completely avoid it so far
Obligatory “not all the leftists!” but you’re right. I guarantee nobody in this thread actually gives a shit about the plight in indigenous communities or has any interest in materialist change tackling the dearth of jobs and opportunities fueling rampant alcoholism and abuse. They don’t want to do anything good, they just want to guilt trip so they can feel superior
The whole law is one knee-jerk shitheap, brought on by a media and population demanding the government do ‘something’
I mean I can tell the difference easily, I just have no stands & am poor
Don’t knock garbage instant coffee. I’m 27 and I live off that shit
It’s not about protecting he public
I think we’re heading that way too. But they’ll make sure to carve out an exception for themselves of course
Recognise the mass shooting for the tragic but extremely rare occurrence that it is, address the intelligence failures that led to the shooters not being discovered earlier, and leave protestors and lawful gun owners alone
This country has spent the last 25 years voting for policy designed to supercharge housing prices and sell out future generations. Even with our current crisis we still vote to drive prices up. No government with a plan to even stagnate housing costs has a hope in hell of being elected. Australians won’t have it. Besides younger and poorer demographics who walk through life knowing they’ll never own a house and that their peers want to keep it that way.
What do you need me to clarify?
Australia is also overwhelmingly against affordable housing. Being in the majority doesn’t make it right
Yes all we need is a kneejerk reaction while the public is reeling from a tragedy
Australia’s privacy laws are dated, vague, open to interpretation and full of loopholes you could drive a semi through. Companies should have to be clear about exactly what they collect, how it’s stored and give people options to delete it. No more “we may collect some data and keep it for as long as we deem reasonable.” It should only be legal for companies to use data for their primary function (i.e assessing a tenant for eligibility), all other purposes (like selling to advertisers) should be strictly optional and opt-in. And no more using already collected data for a new purpose without getting a new round of permission
And the exception for small business needs to go. Small businesses without proper cybersec teams are usually the least equipped to securely handle the data they collect.
