Social media should be banned for adults.

But seriously, this is just a way to tie your real life identity digitally to your online account, and restricts people from offing any services at all without government blessing. It's evil, insane, Orwellian and wrong.

Parents should be responsible for living by example and deleting all their social media. Your kids don't need it and you don't need it. Your life will be better without it.

Australia is an authoritarian hellscape now so I'm sure this will pass.

Anything authoritarian passes with full bipartisan support.
