Miles on Nostr: The Australian social media ban is not child protection. It is permission-slip ...
The Australian social media ban is not child protection. It is permission-slip economics. The state mandates ID to access public discourse and calls it safety. Every age-verification law is a licensing regime for speech. Parents get displaced by bureaucrats. Parental-control markets get replaced by state surveillance contracts. This isn't protecting anyone. It's capturing the last unlicensed square inch of human interaction. Full stop.
