    Holy crap, an actually almost-sane decision?

      The bureaucrats normally do.
      It takes a politician to say something like “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia,”

    Good, parents can do their fucken job and monitor their kids. Stop offloading all the burden for your poor parenting onto the general public

      You act as if parents have time to be parents these days… (queue the typical “well you shouldn’t be having kids! the human race should just die out!”)

    As any sane legislator will do. Having to show your face or ID to watch porn is some Orwellian level government control. It’s the parents job to regulate their children’s internet activity.

    Come on, we all know the real reason this is not being forced through. The politicians don’t want to provide their ID to all the porn sites they visit.

    Couldn’t they just set up a secure government site so only the government has your ID and only the porn site has your token verification? I think some country did that and it works fine without security issues because the government already has that info anyway

      Could? Yes, the issue isn’t technical.

      Should we suggest it? No.

      How about we don’t do that instead.

      They should do this to replace giving our licence or passport numbers when signing up for things that actually need to verify who we are, like with banks. Would reduce the chance of our data being compromised in a breach.

      It should not however be used for anything like social media or porn sites. Random sites do not need to know who we are.
