The Labour Party has introduced legislation to ban Under 16's from accessing social media (fully supported by the ilLiberal party as well)
Notwithstanding the merits or not of this legislation, it is going to require each of us to identify ourselves and probably via the recently introduced digital ID.
This means that each of us will have to register for digital ID to be able to access social media.
How do people feel about the under 16 ban and how do people feel about having to identify themselves via digital ID to access social media.
Additionally, and this is a question for @Joe Blow , how far does the definition of social media extend to? Will it apply to traditional forums such as this? Will we be forced to submit to digital ID to access ASF?
If passed this will have several implications for all of us and not to mention the law of unintended consequences.
There is a view that a VPN may be able to bypass this but they claim to be able to circumvent this. If this passes I will be out because it may certainly lead to some more nefarious goals.
I've talked to a few people about this and most people say that they will just leave social media altogether (and that remains to be seen if they do or not). I will probably just opt out altogether.
