I feel it's only to impose forced identification of all users on the internet.

I download Mullvad VPN but when it's connected via anywhere but Australia i can't even access lemmy via this account.

I couldn't use Reddit either unless I VPN through somewhere in Australia so I assume a VPN won't work to get around these new laws.

Thanks. The only one of those I currently use is YouTube, and all they have to do to verify my age there is to look at the age of my account. Hopefully that'll be enough. Otherwise, they can accept my anonymised digital driver's licence.
