Big Brother wants your selfie to prevent TikTok brain rot, apparently

"Starting December 27, Australians will now need to upload their ID every time they're logged in to do an internet search." "It's been put in place to stop kids engaging with adult content, but it actually affects all of us." "It'll link to your digital ID, or you'll use something like facial recognition." Newsflash: This isn't really to protect children, but extreme totalitarian incursions on freedom and privacy always require a benign and innocent sounding pretext to dupe the gullible into accepting them without resistance.
