Show Notes
As governments from Australia to Texas enforce "digital borders" through mandates like the Social Media Minimum Age Act, the internet is rapidly shifting from an open forum to a surveillance state requiring government ID or biometric scans for entry. While intended to protect children, experts warn these systems create "massive centralized repositories" of sensitive data ripe for hackers, while determined minors easily bypass them using VPNs or even photos of pets.
