Australia’s New Internet ID Laws Are Here – And They’re Terrifying (JWP87)

Governments across the world are tightening their grip on the internet. I break down the new “Online Safety Act” and age verification laws that will soon require Australians to show digital ID or even facial recognition just to make a Google search. I explore the rise of collectivism and authoritarianism, the threat of mass self-censorship, and what these laws mean for freedom, privacy, and the future of public discourse.
