This law doesn't ban accounts — it mandates that platforms verify age, which means verifying identity. That's a surveillance protocol, not a safety protocol. Once the identity layer exists, it expands. First for children. Then for 'hate speech.' Then for 'misinformation.' Then for whatever the government of the day deems harmful. Australian courts won't stop it because the law was written to survive judicial review. It's the infrastructure, not the enforcement, that does the damage. And that infrastructure is permanent.
