>age inference systems
Fucking hell I hope that they allow this.
There is zero chance I am formally linking my id to my Google account. I know that Google already knows everything about me, but formally linking my government id so that the Australian government can conclusively link me to my Google account is a step too far.
If Google locks or nerfs my account because I refuse to give ID or biometrics then I am fucked. I use my gmail for all my other accounts, and since I am a retard who often forgets his password I liable to get locked out of these accounts too.
Hopefully since I have had this google account for 10 years they just automatically green light me with some kind of age inference system. I fucking hate this country.

In theory this is not wrong.
But this is exactly why the State should implement its own, decentralized, anonymous, blockchain based credential management system. I barely trust the State as it is, sure as hell I am not going to trust fucking for profit companies whose whole business model is to fuck me in the ass.
At least a civil State is supposed on paper to protect me and work in my interest. That's not to say that it can't be abused or it can't have points of failure. But when it happens it's an accident. Private companies sell me my own assrape and call it a valuable product I shoul be thankful for.

deeper roots can only be this:
1. force dns block for all providers (bypassed by using Google DNS or w/e)
2. deep-inspection filtering (will cause latency issues, businesses and gamers would complain)
3. firewall like in China (extreme, costly, unlikely)

I applaud them trying to ban porn to be fair.
And anyway you already had to have your ID inside your google account if you wanted to see adult rated videos, you can use a fake id.

Porn seems totally safe compared to to actual "safe" content on yt, 99% of 1m+ sub channels are psychos using every psychological trick in the book for viewer retention while putting 0 effort into content resulting in actually brainrotting shit, ofc with ads for shitty energy drinks, gatchas and vpns sprinkled on top.

Right now they can only do this in two ways.
They can either do it illegally through their 5 eyes intelligence network which I'm sure Google cooperates with, or they could do it legally with a court ordered subpoena.
Once this new law comes into effect then they will have a third option which is to just crosscheck what Google accounts have been verified with which digital id. They will not have to present Google with a subpoena and they will not have to tap into their shady and nebulous intelligence network.

This is an obvious data security risk. Google may be in the business of pimping out your data, but because that is their business model they take data secuity very seriously. I don't really worry about a crazy ex who works at Google stalking me, or a politically motivated employee doxxing me because of the content I consume.
But the Aus government is fucking incompetent and, by its nature, filled with politically motivated people of all stripes. I'm sure that there will be systems in place to prevent abuse of this data, but I don't trust the Australian government to implement something that can not be circumvented by a motivated individual.

Age verification should be at the actual website level and not the fucking search engine level. And that's mostly because they'll just keep piling on categories of information that children aren't allowed to find out about, which once they establish a taboo, can then be expanded to adults. That'd include basically any historical information that isnt the politically correct version of history, and any information about groups who are trying to oppose anything the government is doing, even when they do so legally.

>face age
facial recognition is makes me wanna stab someone and fuck the wound. not only is it privacy infringing, but it also is highly inaccurate; how do you facially tell the difference between a 12 year old and a 13 year old? a 17 year old and an 18 year old? especially if someone has recently turned that age. it's too flawed to actually be used, but of course niggers in government are using a system like that.

this specific change doesn't affect me though, although I still think it's retarded, I don't use mainstream search engines and I know the url's of all the sites I get my porn off.

VPNs make all of this shit irrelevant for now. You should start ACTUALLY getting worried when they start talking about banning those, which will happen within the next 5 years There'll be a media campaign demonizing such services as being gateways to the New Dark Web (i.e. any website not on a governmental whitelist), followed by politicians promising to crack down on them in order to keep you and your children safe.

Basically all the even remotely relevant big power countries already confirmed theyll do it, Nexus cuck mod is right about that one, Australia, UK, entire EU, probably the entire US, Canada, what else you need? Even if no one else complied would you wanna actually move to Africa or most of Asia? I'm not really looking forward to that, its fucked.
>>105778482
There is 0 need to ban VPNs because very quickly so many countries will do this that you'll hardly be able to find one to VPN to and their servers will be absolutely trashed to the point of complete unusability.
Also stuff like Steam your account region is your payment method region so no amount of VPNs will help you there and thats the only thing I honestly care about, rest I can live without or can find bypasses for, if they steal all the games I paid for im going to war.

Never gonna happen. East European, Asian and South American countries aren't suddenly going to ban VPNs because a bunch of (((Western))) states decided to. For the most part anyway. I'm not sure why you're rambling about Steam either. Of course things like that aren't going to be blocked. The cattle might rise up without their bread and circuses. Porn is safe to target because nobody wants to speak up as a chronic masturbator who'd wither and die without it. Degenerate gaymers aren't so shy.

I literally said no countries need to ban VPN because VPN will become useless when every country forces online ID where you will VPN to? Most of eastern europe is in the EU so we're getting taken out soon at the exact same time as shitholes like germany.
Yes I wish Steam was outright blocked just like everything else they wanna restrict but instead they are going to enforce this shit just like they did in China cause they're pussies like that.
Tho that is interesting, why the porn industry isn't fighting because they're going to die when this is implemented, absolutely no one will go to a western sites when you can find better shit without the surveillance on russian sites.
