About this episode
The episode discusses the trend of requiring government ID for social media access and its implications for child safety and privacy.
I've noticed a concerning trend and legislation coming up in some countries that will require government ID to access certain social media websites. The issue stems from child safety, which is a worthy cause, but it will end up not only putting children at risk, but everyone else as well.
