Dear @Substack,
Despite Substack NOT appearing on the Australian🇦🇺 list of websites required now by law to verify users’ age, you do ask for age verification.
I am in Australia these days; this prevents me from accessing my blog.
I will NOT upload my ID.
I will not play your games. Drop it.
Followers, pls share this!
The normalization of Digital IDs use (under the guise of kids’ safety in this case) is complete BS and should be banned. They want to control your access to information. Welcome to 1984/2026 cEns0rsh1p apparatus.
