In other words, whatever information you collect to do the age verification, unless you already have it, with the user’s consent, for some other purpose, you must not store their information. A lovely fairy story, based on ignoring all past and current law-breaking by the tech bro companies! But again, you mentioned the US government. What does that have to do with this? This is a law passed in Australia, but the Australian government. An entirely different country, and one with an actually functioning government and legislature. Most of the media companies are subject to US government control. If US says to track someone but Aus law says not to, who do you think they’ll obey? Australia doesn’t have an actually functioning legislature at the moment, with Labor getting over half the lower house seats from about a third of the votes, but I doubt that’s changed this bad law much. If anything, more L+N input would probably have been worse and I don’t know the other party views on it.
