The Australian Federal Government is planning to de-anonymize the internet to introduce a social credit system to combat “online abuse.”   The police will have access to individuals’ social media accounts, which will be linked to people’s passports.

In response to this statement, Jared Tate stated, “What has happened to Australia? It’s gone full 1984 this year. This is what the elites want to roll out globally. They want to use tech to monitor and track everything we do. Truly decentralized and secure blockchain tech is how we fight and take our finances, privacy, and data back.”

Australians are forced to submit 100% of their Identification like their Driver’s License or Passport when using social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter.  Now, police would have access to those social media access.  And, it is all part of the crackdown on law and abuse.

Now, users could be liable for defamation suits or even criminal prosecution, and it is all part of a plan hoping to deter people from engaging in bad behavior.  Now recommendations were handed down by Federal Parliamentary inquiry.  The government considers their reform, saying there is merit to their move to remove the veil of being anonymous.

Community Response:  This has been happening for years, because everyone carries a phone. It’s nothing new.

This was from five months back, it was one recommendation from a committee proposal which had 88 of them. It was shot down. They were to respond to it a few weeks later at the time but nothing has been heard.

Recommendation 30 (4.281) page 31 of the PDF. It’s going nowhere, a policy proposal from one member with his own little committee of minions.

The Committee makes the additional following recommendations relating to technology-facilitated abuse: 1. There should be greater acknowledgement that appropriate technology use is a shared community responsibility. 2.  It is not simply a responsibility of platforms to host and police content. 3.  There should be greater clarity around a platform’s obligation to remove content, including through the Online Safety Act. 4.  In order to open or maintain an existing social media account, customers should be required by law to identify themselves to a platform using 100 points of identification, in the same way as a person must provide identification for a mobile phone account, or to buy a mobile SIM card.

Social media platforms must provide those identifying details when requested by the eSafety Commissioner, law enforcement or as directed by a court. 6. The Government should consider regulating to enable law enforcement

agencies to access a platform’s end-to-end encrypted data, by warrant, in matters involving a threat to the physical or mental well-being of an individual or in cases of national security. 7.  There should be a substantial increase in criminal and civil penalties for technology-facilitated abuse to act as a greater deterrent for errant behavior. 8. All government hosted websites and applications should have readily available (and searchable) avenues where a victim-survivor of technology-facilitated abuse can seek assistance to have abusive material removed expeditiously.
