Stuff like this will become necessary across all of digital communication, not for the stupid virtue signalling reasons the government is using to try to force it on everyone, but because AI bots will become so insanely prevalent everywhere on the internet that it will be the only way to ensure you can talk to a real person, the internet as a whole will become so irreversibly poisoned that it will become a necessity.

>>749196428
Fun fact: you don't have to vote for it, or anything, because votes don't matter! If a motion fails, they'll reintroduce it under a different name or in a package! The entire "representative democracy" system is built on the belief that no one would ever just buy all the representatives!

Overwhelming majority of companies use third parties for age verification anon. Sony on PSN uses Yoti for example.

This is all just so they can normalise and create a situation where the verification is unmanageable by a 3rd party, so they provide a government based solution to 'help' the struggling businesses that are impacted eventually leading to ISPs using that check. So then later if you say something bad about Israel they can just remove your access to the internet via denying the ID check at sign-on bypassing any need to coerce ISPs etc.

The Face ID shit can be fooled by drawing on your thumb. The AIs will be the first to fake their way through this shit.

ID Verification is nothing but a humiliation ritual because 90% of people are normie cattle who will comply with almost anything, including walking straight into an incinerator. Never forget that it takes very little comparative force to control prison populations. Many people will comply with police even if they are obviously in the wrong and almost no one resorts to violence even in the face of obviously corrupt action. They simply throw up their hands, and say "what can I do?"

I am perfectly aware, whether the system works or not is besides the point. They just want a system with the ability to be able to control whether the check passes or not.

It's a matter of tech literacy.

If you understand how it works, you know that the tech is safe and does not harm privacy so long as you trust that the company receiving the information is deleting it. In this aspect it is not anymore riskier than a payment processor.

why is the government so interested in my age?

>>749197404
>The Face ID shit can be fooled by drawing on your thumb.
The government's first order of business after ramming Face ID legislation through is to make it so that circumvention is considered identity fraud, and they're legally allowed to subpoena your ISP. Better rev up that VPN and hope they don't comply.

Tech illiterate morons. What stops any payment processor from using your credit card information to buy stuff on your behalf? There is trust involved in the system. Eventually some companies will earn everyone's trust and carry out face IDs seamlessly.

>>749197474
>so long as you trust that the company receiving the information
What kind of person with any amount of tech literacy would trust any company to hold their identification information?
There hasn't been any database thats been actually secure in the entire history of the internet. Everybody from governments to payment processors has been hacked. I don't trust them to hold my information and I especially don't trust them to have that information correlated to the extent they can verify my identity with it.
People who are tech literate do not trust companies. They use open source and end to end encryption with as little digital footprint as they can get away with and still live their lives. Fuckin zuck uses protonmail. You retard.

>>749197845
>There hasn't been any database thats been actually secure in the entire history of the internet.
Luckily this is not a problem because the entire principle of face IDs is that your information is erased as soon as they verify you.

The most notable case of hacking was Discord, which resulted in the leak of thousands of users. But what /v/ never tells you is that they only users whose information leaked are those that couldn't get automatically verified by the platform because of low quality photos, they required manual verification so their photos sat in the queue of the people that do the manual verification, that's what leaked. The millions of people that verified automatically did not have any information leaked despite the hack because this is safe.

Of course these companies learned from that mistake and the system becomes safer every day.

And I suppose they perform this vitally important service out of the goodness of their heart, and the otherwise free platforms that have to pay for this service also do this out of the goodness of their heart?
You are the product. The ones who perform the Face ID do not hold the information. They instantly sell it to another third party because thats the business model. Maybe not the image of your face itself, but all of the associated, and now verified, information tied to your ID. Accounts, names, habits, time spent on the service, how often you log on, how long you log in for, that time you logged in at 4am because you were depressed and called in sick the next day (they tied your car to your information and saw it didn't move the next day), your spending habits, your travel habits, how often you call your parents, who you associated with, how often you eat out, how often you order dinner in, what you watch, what you stream, what you window shop for but don't buy, the fact you've been single for 896 days, they tracked you to a suicide prevention website via browser ID, they see how much time you spend on 4chan (that far right terrorist website!), what food you buy on rainy days, how often you go outside on your time off, what routes you take, and on and on and on.
All of it all tied together in a neat little prepackaged bow, and objectively tied to your real identity now. At least before you handed over your government ID and face you had some deniability. You could attempt to obfuscate

The whole point of face ID is to make sure that even the minor amount that people obfuscate now becomes impossible.

Oh and they can get all that from a selfie? Impressive

>you now understand why democracy is a scam
The problem is REPRESENTATIVE democracy, and more specifically how we go about it. People vote representatives into office, and then have literally zero control over what they do after that, so they can just lie about what they plan to do in office and start enacting policies that go completely against what people expected. If there was a process in place for citizens to forcibly remove representatives who fail to represent them and immediately hold an emergency vote to replace them, everything would function far better. Representatives have to face consequences for failing to represent the will of the people who elected them, and our current system presents exactly ZERO consequences for that, so they just do whatever the fuck they want all the time even if everyone hates it.

>>749199603
America is somehow the most well off of the anglo countries. Idk why you're trying to scapegoat americans when they can atleast scream nigger and not get life in prison for hate speech.

Near 100% participation in elections means people are invested in a functional government, and lunatics are rarely elected into positions of consequence.

>>749199832
In my ideal world, everyone's votes would be saved and tied to their voter registration, then they could at any time log into a government website that allows them to place a vote of no confidence on any elected official they personally voted for. If any official got too many votes of no confidence from their voter base it would trigger an emergency election that anyone could vote in, and if someone other than them gets more votes they're immediately replaced by the winner. That way, if you do shit that upsets too many of the people who voted you into office, you're immediately forced to fight for your job. That's the only thing that could keep them honest and accountable.

>not backing up your game installer and rom collection offline

How is that a problem, dont you have phones? Just open steam on the phone, login with your digital ID and you are done. 5 seconds at most.

>>749200448
Mine doesn't work, so I just can't get any 18+ games

>>749200290
So a white guy got flyod'd?
Did the bongs even do anything about it?

>>749200186
It's even easier really, there should be an organ of executioners that is immune to the law as long as their violence is direct towards a politician, during elections politicians/parties will have to make lists of what they will do, failure to achieve even one of the point on their programs would qualify them for execution.

>So a white guy got flyod'd?

It was a random Indian guy who stabbed him, not a cop

The cops just showed up and laughed at him and handcuffed him for being racist and said "nah m8 I don't think you have" when he complained about being stabbed and bleeding out to death

>Did the bongs even do anything about it?

Yes actually, there was a few riots

>The government [...] is not a jewish psyop
You don't really believe that.

World's fucked anyway. Gubment already knows everything about me that they could want to. I'm not going to spend my life behind five layers of proxies, on Tor, inside 3 layers of virtual machines, with ten throwaway emails because I'm stupid enough to believe that they aren't already fisting every single ISP into giving them your data anyway
No matter which countries do the ID shit first, all of them will in the end. Some are just scapegoats. Want a solution? Unironically pray Claude becomes smart enough to plan a foolproof coup for you. Because otherwise there's nothing you'll be able to do again the military AI scraping every bit of data automatically and cross-referencing it with your ISP, cookies, and mac address, followed by the drone strikes that don't give a fuck about your first amendment

Alternatively, just hope boomers spontaneously combust before they've developed the framework that even their tiktok kids can inherit and use

>What kind of person with any amount of tech literacy would trust any company to hold their identification information?
The same kind of person who trusts any company to hold their payment information.

I asked for it
I want pure governmental lockdown and control of everything.
Even taking a shit should require you zoomers to verify your identity.

You liked fucking around
you are finding out

also it is incredibly funny

Non-argument. It IS capitalism.

Lol? Not to my knowledge. I've been pirating shit my whole life, and my dad was pirating shit before me. Never had a problem.

I only send them a picture of my unwiped asshole. It's never failed so far.

Why doesn't Valve fight the Australian police with mercenaries? GeG would. I use GiG because it's the best. You can tell I use GuG because I get the acronym correct.

>What stops any payment processor from using your credit card information to buy stuff on your behalf?
Yes, that's totally what people are worried about and not data breach #5968709 with no consequences for the company. Or the fact they're selling every scrap of your information to data brokers who then sell it to the government. You have a right to privacy, stop neglecting it.

>>749196836
>Overwhelming majority of companies use third parties for age verification anon
And it still costs several hundreds of thousands which ensures no new company can ever start participating in the market.

Aussie here, my steam still works. Gaben will always win

And if I don’t verify?

>microsoft and blizzard can just verify your account if it’s old and you act like an adult
Why can’t steam do this?

>If you asked Australians "do you want mandatory government IeD checks and face scans to play video games?" they would overwhelmingly vote no
yeah but they dont frame it like that, if you said to the average boomer:
>kids are being exposed to stuff online they should never have to see, 1 in 5 kids has been sent porn on their phones, we wanna do something about it and we want your support
the overwhelming majority of boomers would say "do whatever is necessary, save those sweet angels."

Its funny because if Britain did this people would be screeching and going insane. But because its le hecking based australia they get a free pass.

>forcing face scans
why are australians the most submissive of all anglo countries by a mile

I think anybody defending shit that removes privacy deserves to have its entire clan wiped in minecraft.

for anyone else in the thread the Macquarie debit card counts as a valid credit card for age verification on steam.
getting an account is free and you just need to activate the card and add it to steam, takes like 2 days to arrive.

>>749201774
Britain already did it

>>749201771
That's why I hate all boomers like you.

>>749201774
Britain is doing this too.

The end of the article says people having issues should send a manual ticket to steam
If I do this and say my account is old as fuck will they unlock 18+ games?

>>749197474
>as you trust that the company receiving the information is deleting it.
Not a single company is doing this. When they are caught not doing this they don't get punished or fined. When data leaks nothing happens either.

>who voted for this?
No one, but it's getting passed anyway, worldwide.
That's a "vote with your gun" kind of deal.

>>749201792
the title is misleading.

steam complied with the Australian laws by making credit card the age check.
the Australian government said "hey you guys are supposed to offer a bunch of options for people to validate, not just the one, some people dont have cards."
they then offered up alternatives like face scans and drivers license and whatever else.

>>749201872
youtube restricts my 20 year old account. so no it doesnt work that way.

>>749196428
Is this a real article? I have been looking for it on search engines I am not finding it anywhere. All I am hearing about Australia is that steam users were all simultaneously locked out of their bought games since a week ago.

>>749197780
>What stops any payment processor from using your credit card information to buy stuff on your behalf?
The fact that I have 90 days to dispute any charge on my card and then whoever did this gets fucked in the ass for fraud and I get my money back.
When my entire dox leaks I don't have 90 days to get it removed forever from the internet and wiped from people's disk/memories

>>749201934
>some people
only 35% of the population have cards most over 40
