it’s still not entirely clear how the Australian government thinks they’re actually going to enforce this.

"Awww shucks everyone, looks like we don't get to have internet privacy after all. Don't worry, it's FOR THE CHILDREN."

Another way to think about this: Why should you have to give random companies your ID because Australian teens need to prove their age?

Yeah, someone should tell the guy at the bar checking IDs to piss off too. And what's with these fucks at the pharmacy demanding to see my medical license. They shouldn't be hassling me because someone else might be writing illegal scripts.
