You have to provide all your email addresses for the last 10 years and the names, phone numbers and addresses of all your family members as well.

BTW, Lemmy is social media.

Freedom of speech. Yeah, sorta.

Freedom from consequences of your speech. Nope.

They are exactly the same thing.

If they find out, out the door you go.

If its like Australia, then its probably because the way the legislation is worded.

If the DUI legislation has demerit point accumulation for DUI, and it covers all vehicles, not just motor vehicles, then drunk cycling or horse riding could also result in a loss of licence.

The definition is so vague they can block literally any web site.

Bars are required by law to store the identification documents of patrons in Australia.

Now, if the bar demanded to make a scan of my ID and uploaded it to some server, and reported my entry to said bar to the government or some privatized authority, then handed that data to some algorithm to cross reference everywhere else I’ve been to build a profile on my behavior, then established various metrics based on who I was seen hanging around…then probably sold all of that to a bunch of marketing firms…

That is in fact a requirement for bars in Australia.

Lemmy requires you to be over 18 to open an account in Australia now.
