~~====Data Protection concerns====~~

The Online Safety Act will normalise providing your government-issued identification in order to see content, making everyone more susceptible and vulnerable to phishing attacks perpetrated by identity thieves. The act also shifts the responsibility of child safety to the government, who in turn shift it to the websites, who in turn shift it to a brand new identity and age verification industry.

~~====Offloaded responsibility====~~

~~By continuing to shift the responsibility down the pipe, we are increasing~~ the ~~potential harm for when it goes wrong. "Who is harmed if they fail their~~ responsibility?"

~~=====Parents=====~~

~~when parents do a bad job~~ of ~~protecting their kids, the kid sees things that they shouldn't.~~

~~=====Governments=====~~

If the government ~~does a bad job of helping the parents protect their kids~~, it ~~could destroy the open internet.~~

~~=====Platforms=====~~

~~If the platform does a bad job of verifying the kids using the rules~~ the ~~government gave them~~, ~~personal info starts to leak.~~

~~=====Third party identity verification providers=====~~

~~We've massively increased the opportunity and the like surface area of identity attacks and identity theft~~ in ~~general. We've made the internet less free and we've made~~ it ~~way harder~~ to ~~share information~~ and ~~we gave a ton of money to VPN companies for no reason~~.
