I told people this was the goal and they didn't believe me. They told me I was wrong.
No, I am not.
The #auspol govt is demanding that #socialmedia companies prove we are adults.
Well, you know how they do that, right? ID.
They are most likely going to use third party services to demand your ID, pair it with a facial scan and then link that to a fingerprint of your device.
Given the reach of social media companies that means you are trackable everywhere.

@heidilifeldman His continued public decline also tells us he doesn't have any trusted friends who can take him aside and stop him.
Corporations are not sentient entities. They are contracts. They do not "do" things. They do not make decisions. Executives do.
When corporate activity breaks a law or harms people, it means the executives decided to do that.
When a corporation has been fined for something, what you are witnessing is the executives being let off the hook for what they did. Perhaps the prosecutor/regulator wants to keep get big money from corporations after leaving government.

Hill I will always stand my ground on:
It is absolutely unreasonable & dangerous to forbid people from bringing their own water into a music venue (or anywhere else) unless you're providing free filtered water inside. Selling bottled water is not a substitute.
And don't even give me excuses about people putting vodka in their water bottle. People also bring pills & gummies or they pre-drink at home. Deal with that problem directly.
Don't run a fucking dehydration extortion scheme.
