K2010Gdeepseek is free and amazing. far better than chatgpt
all of them have their strengths and weaknesses, and I'm slowly coming to agree that gpt is getting bad.
user5028459981076Wrong… search engines still work without ID.. what’s crock of shit
My Easter Bunny Bee 🐝🐕🧺🥚only people who have something to hide hates this ID stuff. they forget they showed ID to open a bank account, to get a driver's licence.
pugslęyjus make your own servers
AllanacsIf my google account is linked to an app like Firefox, will i need an id to use Firefox?
Kinda, Firefox is just the browser not the website.
Fee_fi_fo_fummmuse Pink web
HotterThanJuliaI highly doubt that.
PaganTombDO NOT COMPLY.
Rudiso what happens if many of your sign ins are Google pwds? Can you address this please?
Then, you'll have to give them proof of your age if they ask for it, to be able to access your account.
Rudiwow ok thanks
I know. It's really bad. But there is a chance that you won't get pinged but yeah,....
Half alive Half asleepI’m okay with giving my ID to the gov, he’ll MyGov was the whole Aussie thing saying you won’t need any other digital ID… but it’s the fact that it’s not going to the government, it’s private info going to private companies. Not happening
Roach 🪳What
LifesabeachaustraliaThis video is not correct. You won’t need Id to use a search engine. If you are logged in to say gmail and your an adult nothing changes. If you arnt logged in it will blur and adult content and assume your a kid. Which is good considering the filth online.
Razziewhat about Opera GX / Opera?
As browsers Opera is excellent.
Fletcher ParkerVPN
Corné KloppersJust use a vpn
robertpeterdent16ah the death of Google
djk1937Yep and who wants ID and online most, yep, another fine mess by the government and big businesses like the banks
The Witty Professorfake 😂
Macka Clementsand people still vote Labor 🤣 its a joke oh and mind you albanese has introduced more new taxes and living class by-laws than any primeminister EVER. oh and did i mention that this includes inheritance tax/death tax, sparebedroom tax and unrealised asset tax like theyre jusy squeezing normal people now and feeding themselves and their corporate friends and people think labor is an ok party theyve been doing this for years on the side slowly finally they just decided because they got voted again to go all in🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pattydurham50No to Ai
TwistedI really hope they US based companies sue the tits off the Australian government because this bs goes down to a kernal level on Android devices.
LadyRose4545haven't used google for many years
Nice.
KatI use brave yandex with a vpn
DocEvilI have a VPN.
RalphI’ll be honest, the search results coming out of google lately are so crap i’ll be pleased to have a reason not to use it anymore.
canyon_canyonWhat will the implications be for employees? If our work accounts are hosted by Google/gmail?
Tia TorusThe fact that they don’t need it for Roblox tells you everything you need to know
Mills 😊After researching, the Esaftey website says there will be penalties for online engines requiring Government issued IDs. Apparently because they have so much data on us, they just look up our overall search history, and determine our age by that
Kimrg666This is beyond insanity
lightworkeightBe proactive and start sending emails to all suppliers incl gov to declare you do not consent to the creation, maintenance, or use of any Digital ID in your name. This incl but is not limited to myID (former myGovID) or any affiliated services. Then quote Sections 29 & 74 of the ID Act 2024. Then request that ANY Digital ID held in your name be deactivated immediately & and that no future Digital ID be created or used without your express, written consent. Keep records.
Lana🍌as far as I know brave is not doing this! its my favourite search engine by far
If it's in Australia and they are a search engine they may be forced to comply.
frank castleVPN
deklianso we can't easily verify the spam the media regurgitates at us
It's hard to find the truth these days
SorrowKing101it's just for australia
Keisuke Takahashinever thought I'd have to start using a VPN just to bypass internet restrictions in a "free country."
makes you wonder how "free" it actually is
To all the people asking about VPNs, I doubt it will work with an already made account. However, you might be able to VPN overseas and create a new account
I don't think vpns will work.
J
JI know for a fact that untold 1000’s of teenagers are already onto this and this government knows this and know they can do very very little about it, it was never about protecting children it was always about the government seizing more control bit by bit until the day comes where it’s citizens are under full control like nazi germany was.
VPN and Brave browser
trejkaz7Both Yahoo Search and DuckDuckGo _are_ Bing, so that ain’t gonna help.
kratosHellSpawnScrew them, not giving more out and maybe finally we can stop the system, give me five solid reasons why they need and how it will help
More than LifeDuck duck go will not be safe
Agreed
🍁DJ🍁I’m not doing it
Good plan.
Davidsarah Taylormy modem has built in VPN
Perfect.
memesquestion what can you do for phones as well since phones still use google and this will affect the phones search engine as well.
You can use your own server still, if you added the url then go to that one and search from there.
memeswhich one do you recommend will work best for the mobile version then
KateWhat about safari ?
Yup, this works with safari
KateSorry to clarify safari will need a digital id? How about the old school Firefox? 😅
Oh, so this isn't a browser based issue it's the sites your visiting in the browser.
Is66cStrettonI was concerned to drive up the road without my id to the police station only to find it later. so I'll be fine to have an id for search engines.
🖕🏻I'll just be cancelling my Internet and apps. I'm fine to go back old school and save my money in the process and the government can miss out on that gst they would have got. FAFO
Self host everything.
muffindelete your account here first. thanks bye
LennoxIt’s the whole ai thing as well guys
Obscenitylast time I checked, a search engine isn't social media, what grounds do they have for doing this
Protecting children from porn.
Obscenitythat's what a child google account is for, that's what safe search is for, people need to actually be a parent instead of letting them loose with an ipad nanny
Caffeinated UnicornAll those posts of “google is your friend” are going to seem creepy after this.
Very
Percy the CatWhy aren’t we just given a child safe version? I would be happier to use that than to give them my ID
Agreed
FrankieWhat!!!!!
terrible angelI was with you until you started recommending chat gpt 🙃
imlateforwork01I wonder when people will start making fake Digital IDs lol
Lol
Luke RadfordThey really want us recreating the stone age
JenwahzWho will host the ID? No way it will be safe
RadagastIt was never about protecting kids but social engineering society into being comfortable with being actively monitored not a problem if you’re up to no good but still a problem for those of us who value our privacy and having government dictate what we should think . 1984….
MistyThose search engine duck duck, brave, yahoo will have a lot of information that Google has? I feel that they don't have as much information as Google, am I right?
💬Will this mean you’d be better to be dispensing gmail also?
Honestly yes. I don't use it apart from a throwaway account to log I to services I don't fully trust.
sunbunlegend 🙏
Melencyclopaedias look good now
Borat 73Brave is good Duck ok too
nahreahAs some one who doesn’t understand this…. I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😂😂
winterfaewill I be able to use my gmail
Technically you can send and receive Gmail, if you use Thunderbird.
David Jonesawesome video, thanks heaps
Hope it helps!
Shanghai1704🇦🇺VPN here I come.
MissBand what about the people who had their ID stolen?
✨Jess ✨It’s if you are identified as being under 18 I do believe it will
Nerusthanks
loulouBrave I downloaded
crocaticAustralian government traying to implement DIGITAL ID for any cost
Not sure on the Digital ID, but search engine verification is still bad.
NfsI love Perplexity
Perplexity is great, but I prefer free options!
Camdn35can you use AI to do the searches for you and give you the info? problem with that is vetting the info is correct or not
Yeah, you can use it like this, and if its getting direct results then its far less likely to be wrong but still possible.
bennyphitsthe gov are so far behind the 8 ball on technology its will be simple to navigate around.
Mimi🌻I've been using Duck Duck Go for ages, I search anything and everything it's great!! Highly recommend.
Debi TynanThis is poorly hidden government propaganda & it's crazy how people are not educating themselves about Digital ID. Not a single “digital ID card,” but China’s integration of identity systems, surveillance, and social credit is often cited as a worst-case scenario for centralised digital identity. Why it’s controversial: • Government-controlled scoring of behaviour • Restrictions on travel or services for low scores • Extremely high surveillance linked to identity This demonstrates how digital ID can be misused when tied to behaviour monitoring.
you're not saying Im government propaganda? or did I read that wrong'>
r4ptureDBlol this country is a joke use brave
Hobby_farm_RookiesThere has been no announcement of digital id. It’s the ppl saying this, manifesting this. Stop already.
BeegardenedThe death of the free internet in its final stages. Why can't these be bypassed with VPNs though? If you don't have location tracking enabled on your device and a VPN set in a location in a country without these age verification rules, how are they to know?
BeegardenedAlso, how is this meant to work for public, shared devices, eg, a library computer?
RijioSo glad I switched to DuckDuckGo
Mable 💽There will be a day when we all talk about the good ol Wild West days of the internet 😭
💕 AlyK 🎀Yeah nah. I’m not giving my Personal Private searches to the Australian Government. How is this not being talked about!?
Renrawrd#scam
Which bit?
dindunuffin697anyone know where we can get fake ids?
So if they aren't actually validating then any id you make will work
The Lost Drone ⚡Thanks for sharing mate!
gloria.churchillHow do they intend to keep this data safe considering there’s been a lot of breaches lately?
Hopes and dreams I would say.
VonStrudelcakebing is about to be used even less than it already is now.
VonStrudelcakevpn for everything.
Taye>loreMy man
Tony & Kim Outdoor AdventuresIf you use Google Pay. You are already registered and don't need a photo id.
Kelly SpencerCancel your internet and mobile contracts and let’s hang out in public places.
Black KnightAustralia has become a toilet where even the toilet paper is censored
atlas_bustedI see theyre speedrunning against UK Labor to lose the greatest government mandate in modern history.
Sigma zoneI have already downloaded Rumble,Odyssey,Opera and Tutanoa.
Allen007I think we are going to need to remove the politicians and change the system of government.
John PowerYou can self host Morphic which has searxng backend so it’s like an open source perplexity with zero cost, just spin it up on a raspberry pi and connect via tailscale, cloudfare tunnel or ngrok
Perplexica is another option too , but yes self host is always the way to go!
dash 🐧i don’t even have id i’m tired of everything requiring id
dash 🐧if the government wants everyone to use government id then they should provide it to everyone without having to go through a long ass process to get it. i’m talking a little card like a drivers license cause i ain’t carrying or scanning in my birth certificate anywhere.
dash 🐧mind you i’m 18, an adult with no id because it’s for some reason assumed that everyone wants to drive and will have a license
dash 🐧i also don’t have a passport because i’ve never traveled overseas
encephalitisI'm certain you can get a regular identity card from centrelink
RhythmicEyesIt was a pain during Covid. I needed an ID to cross state borders because I was over 16, but I can’t drive so don’t have one.
AshThis. Especially with “we need your drivers license!” I’m epileptic
xbutcherxa "proof of age" is incredibly easy to obtain through the transport department. It's the form of ID you use in case you don't want or can't have a driver's licence. It's just part of the world needing ID even for things like click and collect orders or picking up mail from a post office
Islayou should look into proof of age cards if you haven't already
AshMany places, even government bodies don’t accept proof of age cards. Why? I’m not sure but that’s just my experience, it’s useless.
Islafair enough
Tia TorusYou can get id without a license . Proof of age
dash 🐧yuh i was actually gonna get it today but i have some massive pimples on my face that i dont want in the picture😭
BradIt will only requires age verification if you are a logged in user. If you don’t log in it will default to restricted search.
If you want to use any google services you need to log in, so mail, maps and so on.
BradMail obviously, but not search and maps
Nom Nom 🧩🌀ty
DamoMartinis duckduckgo not Google?
As far as the compliance code goes its going to be applied to ALL search engines.
moonjelly🪼jeremy bentham doing excited backflips in his grave at this fr
Anniwill this affect our favourites on chrome? and if so how can we preserve them?
how does tiktok workMove to Firefox, when you install it it'll ask if you want to move all your favourites across
Annithanks for the tip ☺
Annialso do u know how we can get a vpn?
I personally use Mullvad which is cheap, and Proton is also highly recommended. You signup, and install the app and then just turn it on to use.
Annithank you
Annido you know if we will have to give ID to access our google/gmail email accounts??
I don't know but I think its likely.
Anniwell that will be problematic indeed... what can we do if we cant access our email? any others you would recommend? thanks
Ill do a video about this today and a longer walkthrough on youtube I think.
Annithanks that would be helpful
Kanpo RimpocheThat's a you problem. W Before the Internet... When people bought porn magazines or cigarettes. you had to prove that you were an adult. This is just the modern version of it. They don't care what you search, at all.
Ash_1q5bAnd the government isn't making any moves to safeguard our IDs when uploaded to these platforms. If you give google your ID and it gets breeched, there's nothing on the government end to protect us from that.
milkybricklayingIt’s the same as torrent sites. It doesn’t load if you don’t run a VPN in Australia, be the same with VPN. For some reason, mine is locked in Singapore lately. I can get on any site
ShanShan Rose Car733the only benefit I see of this is it stops the conspiracy theorists from spreading bullshit and forces those weirdos to use their own brain and not follow others
Emerson CnuutschmidtThis won’t work lest google and all other co search engines have access to Australian Gov database
You're talking about Validation of the ID, not verification of your age.
Amanda Aliza LI honestly don't care if the internet goes down and gets taken away cause we don't want to be controlled I'm here for it haha.
Self hosting is like Bing off grid but for technology.
Amanda Aliza LSo keen I don't want my kids having technology 👌
OdoWhy not startpage dot com?
That's an option, technically they would need to comply
Blitney🇦🇺You can still use safari without ID. Website & apps that are not age restricted will not be affected. VPN will circumvent.
robertmx1953How can my id info be verified by, say, google, without google having access to aus gov. data base?
That's the million dollar question and your the only one I've seen ask it.
kilaXphantomExaxtly, because its not for safety, its mass data collection as a law
KayellarWhat about tourists and visitors to Aus? Will they have to add their IDs when they enter the country?
Not sure, I don't think it's just going to be location based, that's why I don't think a VPN is going to work.
KayellarSo as an Aus citizen living abroad I’ll have to do it as well, even though I don’t live in the penal colony anymore?
I don't belive so no, I'm in the same boat.
Mathew TaylorThis only applies to users who have logged into Google with a Google account, and as such Google already knows everything about you.
All that can be faked though, but now it really will know exactly who you are.
BeauNerrThis applies to search engines that you have an account attached to, like google. If youre not logged in, there’s no check. So basically, if you’re worried about your search history being tracked and you have a google account it already is
Yiu need to log into to google accounts to use a lot of different services though.
NorahSUse yandex
Mar.GosCorrect me if I am stupid but will a corp like google allow for people to not use the search engine because of this? Some already search through chat gpt, I am guilty of it too I haven’t googled anything in months.
All search engines will be required to comply, and that means AI too I belive.
Badf our government
Mozthanks, that's awesome👏👏. I had the same idea but did not know how to start
channsOn the plus side, this will catch a lot of pedophiles
BoomerAlready using ddg
JanetDuck Duck Go!
All search engines will be made to comply.
JanetWow really what about Chat GTp or is it the same deal?
Sione Smithtor would probably be the last to give up that's if they comply. but tor is very slow it can be used for regular websites but be careful if you use it on the dark web its very easy to get a virus on tor
Herbie_goes_banannaswill this affect my Gmail?
It's likely to be account level, so possible
amyIf you provide an ID to Google, are they bound to privacy not to share it or have it accessed?
It's up to them not being evil.
M4R33LInsist on truevault.com.au
delomioVPN or searx
saltydirtyThis is insane and the government can stop pretending this is to protect kids because nobody believes that
LegMaIntel has made a back door for mossad
👤Dark web
charlotte14321If this will be account based can we use a VPN and search as a guest or just not sign in? Does anyone know if we will be forced to create a google account? This is so dystopian… I’m about to move to Poland or smthn
I belive its going to be account level.
marksteiner158hahahaha....we're not using them
KennoDarkweb works better
FrancesWhat?
Yup
WonkaIF this goes through and google requires ID there will be one of the largest protest EVER.
and_hesVPN
tylerdurdenWould it work
I fear it's account level, so it may not.
kordezI've moved all my amounts to the USA
🇦🇺will vpns get around this or no
junewhat about firefox?
EmilyGoodbye incognito mode
Yeah, that's not going to help us now..
OlmateNightfoxyeah nah nothing will change lol change your DNS provider. omg so hard.
Kontraband GhostChange your App Store to American App Store on your phones or just use Brave browser no cookies or tracking
Not sure if American is better...
EllietheyaintOKAYI'm not giving them my id. it's laughable to think this is okay
Agreed.
The_Vocal_Veteran“Completely self-hosted”… Except that you’re still using a third-party search engine in the background. 🙄
feefeegirl8Will just drive more ppl onto the dark web
Yup
Bastila Shanits not enforcing id checks
It's forcing you to varify your age with a I'd.
Bastila Shanthey do face scans too, you can also block out your photo and license number too for privacy and its allowed
Vandelay420No it isn’t, this is blantant misinformation you are spreading throughout this video and comments section, the law clearly states that companies are NOT ALLOWED to collect IDs in order to age gate and need to implement other technologies. You should inform yourself of the incoming law before speaking about it.
Look at my next video where I read the law directly.
DwhinFace scans are ID checks, your biometrics are a form of ID.
YeahHonestly, the only way to combat this garbage is by hitting them where it hurts, their wallets. Everyone should cease using these platforms until they rectify this ridiculous law. They want our government ID? Plus credit card (for things such as tiktok shop, YouTube premium etc) all linked so when it eventually gets leaked, and it will, you are not only inconvenienced….. but ROYALLY dewed up the wazoo. If you catch my drift.
MichaelI use AI 😂😂
NoNameUser1234I would never touch yandex ! And do not recommend anyone to use it ,
It was more an illustration than a recommendation..
Michaelyandex shows everything Russia doesn't care
The_Vocal_VeteranI use Yandex pretty often as a secondary search engine… There’s a LOT less censorship when using Yandex, and it’s obvious as.
NoNameUser1234Ahaha Russian site with no sensorship . 😂
NoNameUser1234Seriously ppl since when they don’t care ? There other ways to identify u
There shouldn't be a need to comply at all.
poo🇵🇸⚽️My school requires us to use Gmail and Google classroom ect under our school accounts, what are we going to do now?
You're going to have to Id I think.
[insertnamehere]This video is completely incorrect and hasn't given accurate information. Gov id will not be required at any stage of the social media age limit process. It will also 100% not be required for emails. This gentleman has a fear of being under control so he has had an emotional and not fact based response to the change in legislation
Dizzy Gen Xsurely these companies are not going to give up the billions in ad revenue so who is paying them for the traffic loss?
They may not have a choice, or they stand to make more from being able to target you much more precisely.
akira kanedai.d OR facial verification
UngaHaving your search history and online activity linked to your government ID? This will surely not be a recipe for disaster in the event of the inevitable data breach/ hack at all
No, there is no way something could go wrong.
UngaNo way, surely the government and companies in general have a history of protecting our data 🤔
saharaliWe haven't had any instances of major data breaches recently. Our data is going to be fine! 🫠
ArthurThe malicious actors in this situation are not the potential hackers, but the government itself.
GraceThey also still have the law where they can force companies to make changes and they can’t tell anyone (Assistance and Access Act) so even if it’s implemented okay the gov can get it changed
Yup
puffycloudfairy*Will having an android phone with google affect things? I've heard people are buying non smart phones.
Not totally sure.
Wunna Sophia 💕omg government IDs are worth a lot on the black market
Yes they are.
GeeChatGPT is run by IsraeI🇮🇱🤮
bloodzkull1guess I'm finally making the move to Graphene OS
Good idea.
Frankie the thirdI don't think it's as big a problem as you think. Just don't use an account. Possibly all you will need is an international DNS. It's all you needed for the filter the government introduced years ago. A VPN will definitely solve if DNS doesn't.
caitosaurus98Put it to public vote NOW
caitosaurus98Are there alternative search engines that won’t require this please? Don’t want to get fired from work, but will NOT consent to this
SearcXNG is an option and there are publically hosted options.
Gailat my age I will be booted off lol
_Izzy 🇦🇺Does this mean that it will affect Gmail, google maps etc since it’s all tied with Google?
Likely.
_Izzy 🇦🇺That would mean we will either need a VPN solution to access our emails or export all emails out to another provider/host your own then change all website accounts using your Gmail account
If a VPN will work.
PauluxwolfGood luck to businesses
DommoWhat about Safari on Apple phones
If you're using Google as the search engine and you're logged into a Google account then you'll be affected.
Mary Jane 🙏✊❤️How does this suit all Australians? There goes privacy details, the scammers will love this, and what about old ppl like my dad, who have no idea he hates it , the government is not thinking about older ppl
Damn straight. I spent years telling my mother never give out her details, and now this.
Mary Jane 🙏✊❤️I will never will agree this government 😡 who Eva idea this is
Amethyst🕊️Oh this is going to be interesting as a teacher. Interesting meaning a nightmare. Our school uses Google classroom and G Drive for our administration, teaching programmes and student learning tasks. I wonder how such things as G Drive will be affected. Our teaching programs have links to YouTube and web links for learning resources. Sounds like a huge incoming nightmare.
Going to be hard for a lot.
melghel2imagine doing all the kids id 😂😂
AndiiLook it up again, they've changed it cuz of the amount of pushback 😂
Andrew ScottWhat about using a Ai instead of a search engine ?
There is a chance they may also have to comply.
RittsuOh god…….. May I ask what this means for Gmail etc and what we can do about it?
I'll go a video on how to degoogle.
RittsuThank u! I appreciate it! 😭🙏
JaseDon't use google
DISOBEYGoogle gona loose customers good
I think so too
Mossopera is an independent browser with an inbuilt VPN and supports duckduck go. you can also import all of your chrome bookmarks and set up. I've been using this combo, alongside proton VPN, for the last week on different country servers and have had no issues
Duckduckgo go is also going to have to comply as well.
Not sure what that is.
Luckyglad I installed Tor the moment they announced digital ID awhile back 😂 means can pirate again as it's also a VPN
Kinotor
Yup
V4mpWhat’s the purpose of the ID, worst case ?
Everything you search is linked directly to you, not just an ip. No anonymous browsing
V4mpCheers for the reply! Should we just use Tor? Can we homelab our own search service?
Tor is just the browser and network, the search engine is different but if you use an engine that doesn't require a login and a VPN it will work.
watcherindarknessDownload Tor browser
⁷𝓱𝓸𝓫𝓲~𝔀𝓸𝓫𝓲⁷they're doing that so they can spy on u even more than they already do 😡
Yup
Em CeeDo not comply
DoorMattthis sounds like this will be the biggest class action against the government or a corporation affected by the ban in a few years when they inevitably get hacked and everyone's ID is stolen.
I doubt it would get that far.
Brian ObaseballI use brave, it is no where as good as Google search but oh well it's past time to move on from Google in every way
All search engines are included (I reread the code today)
Brian ObaseballThat's outrageous
Agreed.
Jaiwhere’d you find it, i’m only finding the basic ‘these platforms’ info
Posing a vid with information next.
Jaidope, i’ll follow for that, and i mean also cause you explain things nice and simply
Chelle Jayne 🇦🇺@Ash 🇦🇺
kelligreene5So what’s a substitute for google privacy view?
Self host your own engine.
kelligreene5That sounds hard!
Not sure what you mean?
Steve Blankit could be illegal because the inventor of the WWW made it to give FREE access to internet for everyone.
paul mitchellit won't last very long as Google is ready in the wings to sue the government that will sort these Dicks out
jackwhere does it say this
RyanNowhere
NerdySpiceI don't think we need to worry too much because it won't last. Its probably going to backfire horribly.
MEBullshit!
T’TGreat stuff thank you so much for your research and information
I'll do another update today.
βαΖΖαseems like they already 👀
I didn't see that! Oh my..
eangalilwho uses search engines in 2k25 😂
A lot of people still.
eangalilthey are terrible these days.
Agreed
juls.private__What are we suppose to use instead?
eangalilany of the ai's 🥰
I think they may also get forced to comply
Self host searxng.
eangalilyeah perhaps. we will just have to wait and see. search engines weren't always around, so might be time to start inputting up addresses again!
I agree, or host your own.
juls.private__I will never use ai, the environmental consequences are way too high 😅
juls.private__Could you do a video of how to do that?
Yes
juls.private__No thanks
I'm with you.
eangalilyou are aware search engines also uses real world recourses, just like ai?
eangalilget left behind then
Mar.GosAnd how does a search engine work?
Mar.GosDon’t roll your eyes so much they may stuck at the back of your head? Then what? I asked you a question if you know the answer answer if not f the f off.
Take a look at my next video
eangalilit's just a tool. do you use a calculator?
Ellieyikes
ElectronicShadowMonstersif you google anything, if you google image search, if your phone has updated and autocorrect seems abit weird, you're already "using" ai. 👍
sourtickerlol ai isn't always useful especially when searching
eangalilit's more useful than search engines.
sourtickerreally because as someone who works in tech all it does give me bunch of useless info when im just trying to find a simple solution
I'm in the same boat.
canyon_canyonYou may not be old enough to remember but Coles used to have the thing where each week you’d shop and collect a different volume of the encyclopaedia.
Dave Morcombe 🇦🇺anyone who has the ability to think
eangalilthat's contradictory 😂
rissmartinAwww how fun!!! I grew up in a small town that was barely on the map back then, so I didn’t get to partake… but I definitely would if they started doing it again haha 😁
Luke LepongWhat do you do when you need information?
Luke LepongPlease don't get all of your information from chat gpt
eangalilI use my brain 🥰
Ste_DonSaid the person who was clearly ignorant of the way things work.
Rohan GreenawayNOPE! NOT HAPPENING
Yup it is.
Praxius 🇨🇦I was born in 1980 with an Atari controller in hand. My teens were Dial Up and chat rooms. My 20s were Limewire, Torrents, MSN Messenger, and ICQ. I'm originally from Canada, which back in the 2000s was the Pirate Capital of the World. Now here I am in my 40s, and the Australian Government thinks they can force me to provide them with my ID so they can track every fk'n thing I do online?
Praxius 🇨🇦Oh and for the record, I prefer Bing over Google (especially for image searching) but now both are getting tagged with this s*it, so I'll be dropping both.
All search engines need to comply it seems.
They're going to try.
Praxius 🇨🇦Well with the UK doing their own online ID BS, and Italy doing something similar, I believe Sweden is copying Australia, and there's talk about this crap in the US, chances are companies are going to just apply this garbage like a blanket to all countries soon. So like how the world moved on from MySpace to Facebook, to then Snapchat, and from P2P to Torrents, to then Streaming, it looks like society needs to change the way we do things online in order to counter this abuse of power and direct attacks on our privacy & autonomy online...... Or we go back to Analogue. Either way, I'll be fighting this at every damn step. Maybe rather than the government waste our tax money on this crap & punishing children & by proxy, all of us, they should instead put all that money and effort into going after the actual CRIMINALS online who make it dangerous for our kids in the first place. But I suppose that would require actual work, wouldn't it? Regardless, thanks for sharing alternative solutions.
Kaynein Australia; google, tiktok Facebook= you need to upload id and prove you are a an adult. meanwhile Pornhub, WhatsApp, discord, onlyfans, gambling apps, etc. will all be exempted from the new laws
So there is a whole second part to the online safety act that will start to have these removed from indexes too.
Kaynekids aren't allowed to use google so removing results from Google won't change shit. when the Australian government consulted Pornhub a year and a half ago and got them to help write these laws they intentionally made it so anyone can bypass the ban by typing in the URL directly
EzraI do NOT want any website/search engine other than secure government websites having my ID. I especially don't trust Google, FB, etc.
100% with you on that.
jessI have to use google multiple times a day for work, do you know if they're imposing it on business usage? how would they tell?
You'll just have to add your Id,thats the only way. It's varify all users,or no users.
el_mehicoI'm go8ng old school f..... this system
Agreed. Self host.
Josie from Oz 🇦🇺💚Further proof it's never been about the kids. Will a VPN bypass it?
buknaked.yes it will
tt_smurfno it wont, because the VPN companies WILL BE REQUIRED TO COLLECT ID
buknaked.not the ones worthwhile. but if one was to use those ones the way around this you can create your own vpn too.
Steve BlankTelcos may be forced to restrict VPN access. The Telcos already have the hardware and software installed to block VPNs, if they need to.
There are always ways around that, tailscale or simiar.
It will be account level, so if your account is Australian, a VPN won't help I think.
I don't think it will, I think it's account level, but I want to be wrong.
the_networkingwizardVPNs worked in the UK.
This is a very different issue, but my hope is that a VPN will work
bloodzkull1have fun with that. it would need to be selective as many businesses rely on them and that's a whole lot of work for something at is easily bypassed again
the_networkingwizardThe UK just implemented Under 18 social media ban, and forced individuals to upload their ID to age verification platforms. It’s the same here in AUS just under 16s. Let’s hope the social media platforms don’t force us to upload our ID.
DKno it won't you need to change your timezone currency and language just change language to us currency to us the timezone to like Papua New Guinea Time if it lines up with your timezone then VPN to Papua New Guinea Time you might also want to get an international esim to sign up to stuff again
I don't think it will, but I want to be wrong.
moeyurikun 「百合豚」just make a new account under a non-american IP, it's not like you're surgically attached to your Google account.
moeyurikun 「百合豚」I use the Japanese locale on my system and have a timezone spoofer on my browser so this doesn't matter.
mapleandmuseIs there a way to keep your TikTok account?
PokemonTrainerGrayyou dont need an account to use search engines so VPNs should work fine.
kbillIn a lot of cases yes.
GrossyWill a vpn get around all of this?
I think it's account level so I think not.
CalebThe storage of all this data is up to the tech company’s. When have the tech companies ever not ‘leaked’ our data. This is ridiculous how it is mandatory.
Nope, never leaked sensitive data, ever.
SofWhat about Ao3
Ratjust use Brave browser
Browser change is great idea, and just degoogle, but all search engines it seems are being forced to comply.
Sione Smithtor would probably be the last to give up that's if they comply. but tor is very slow it can be used for regular websites but be careful if you use it on the dark web its very easy to get a virus on tor
43gritwhat about our gmail accounts
I've got a feeling it's goi g to be account level so it's likely going to be affected, but I hope not.
Jorjimy bf been trying to get me to use brave forever, here we go I guess
Miss.Tarlia 🇦🇺will be interesting to see how this affects education. most kids use Google for assignments and schools use it as a learning tool coz we dont use encyclopaedias anymore.
Yeah, kids will have to add their Id.
OMG Laserguns! 🇦🇺That'll be a problem because most kids under 16 won't have ID, so how is someone in primary school, or even most of high school, supposed to use those services?
idkthey'll have birth certificate and passport. both sound even dodger to use than drivers license. I hate how no higher ups understand the security concerns around this. makes em all look dumb or untrustworthy
Pink Diva Nails Inc 🇦🇺This is where parental right to say no will come into effect….
Yiu can say no, and just not use it, there are alternatives
AshKids..don’t have ID
canyon_canyonYou can use it logged out just like YouTube. This id check thing is for logged in accounts.
Mili 🇦🇺I'm not giving my ID to just search something
stuttervideoLife is going to be difficult without it that's where the coercion is
Lizard with lemonsno, just use a VPN...
stuttervideoit won't be that simple
I don't think it's going to be validated.. Because that costs money.
Yup
Ditto.
Nope
decryptedcipherwhat do I do about Gmail? I need my Gmail account i have everything on it.
Migrate.
decryptedcipherall of my accounts linked to my email? emails? details? everything? how? I cant export everything, lol. it will take weeks of non-stop transferring manually for each and every account to a new email address in which i dont even know where to create. maybe proton?
Macka ClementsWill Microsoft Outlook be id flagged too ? or just Gmail?
ReZero_Peak1
Micheal💚why didn't they just leave it alone Google and others going to lose so much who can be bothered putting all that ID to look up a phone number 🤔
Ben VerelstIm going to get vpn's
Not totally sure vpns will help. But I hope so.
Ben VerelstI have decided to delete any account with any non essential app that asks for my ID.
I think it's a good idea.
Ruby McQueen 🇦🇺 (Author)Yeah nah, I’m giving my ID to zero of these third party sites! Hard pass. Thanks for the options!
ParagonOnly applies to logged in users, so you can just log out then search.
But log in to use drive, docs, Gmail, all the websites you used Google auth to access...
Paragonif you're using those services and logging in you have zero privacy already, your data and usage habits are what goggle is selling to provide that service to you in the first place.
Sophie 🌻so I can't use my email without giving ID?
juzzzlifeSolid advice 👏
d4rkkn1ght7google i think if you have had your account forever it won't be nessary.
Maybe, they will assume if you've had an active account for more than 15 years then your exempt.
d4rkkn1ght7exactly
🇦🇺Bearded Grumpy Barista🦘Use a VPN and ignore this bollox. I ain’t verifying s##t
I think it's going to be account level, so not sure if a VPN will solve it.
Shokkabeen using other search engines for years now Google has become so crappy its all just ads now when you search instead of what you actually want
Same, but it's time to totally degoogle and self host everything.
Shane Dignansurely these companies understand this will decrease their user count, so my question is, who is forcing all these countries to put on these restrictions and what are their motives.
XelloTDIt's the government forcing the companies-
Shane Dignantheres no way that all these governments are just randomly deciding at the same time to put on these regulations... they're being instructed by someone..
XelloTD*checks notes* UK Government under Kier Starmer brought in a much harsher Online Safety Act Australian Government under Albo is about to bring in a better safety act compared to the UK government America is trying to bring in an "America" tiktok
It's a plan.
There is value in this for the, be UAE now their ad targeting is down to the exact person. Not just behaviours.
BennyGFunkUK & AUS same same, just worded more nicely.
Yup
Tia TorusIt’s called the new world order
Onslow_2VPN !!!
Hope this is all we beed
Redux ☑to bypass this, just put your location as new Zealand
Lamont willMy bank of 25 years wants me to update current ID documents, I am currently ignoring to see what they do first, then I will cancel account
VPN probably best solution
If it works.
crypto coconutduck duck go
SmurfLabor and LNP in Australia have passed into law this digital ID. WE'RE DOOMED! Without digital ID: No job, no centrelink (unemployment benefits), no pension, no bank, no health, no food, no drivers licence, no mortgage, no renting, no travel without this ID. Refusing this and you will be unemployed and homeless. This is terrifying and god forbid if you have a dissenting voice or refuse the next MRNA vaccines. We will also be censored to oblivion. This is traumatising and most can't see how bad this is going to be for everyone. This is the beginning of facsism!
caliyI can't even get a digital I'd because I can't afford a passport and don't drive so no licence it's so flawed it's rediculous
SmurfAussies are so apathetic
Kaynedon't forget one nation voted with Labor and LNP. all the other minor parties and independents were against this. only LNP Labor and one nation. those 3 parties
So very flawed.
SarahAnd we just follow the lead of Italy, the Uk and Nepal. Take out security cameras, refuse to go to work and turn on our politicians on mass.
Glitchy StitchyYeah but 80% of people just believe what they’re told to believe.
Glitchy StitchySo make a digital ID, use it for basic stuff and then use things like duck duck go for anything you’d rather not be known for.
Facetious T-shirt ProductsWhy I trust no politician they are all Freemasons
yup
K2010Gjust don't comply
Raz el ghoulvpn.
omgrr7🃏that's for creating an account
Tim McMahonAI and AI assistants on phones are the new search engines. Will phones require an ID check the moment a user asks a social media related question?
Debi TynanDigital ID is being sold as “convenient,” but freedom should never come with conditions. Once your identity, health, finances, and movements are all linked to one digital system, you no longer control your information — someone else does. What starts as a simple login can easily turn into a tool for monitoring, restriction, and control. Free people don’t need to prove who they are at every turn to live, work, travel, or speak. That’s not freedom — that’s surveillance dressed up as progress. Saying no to digital ID isn’t anti-technology. It’s pro-freedom, pro-privacy, and pro-choice. Because once your freedom is coded into a system, it can also be switched off.
NormyleHand talking is an unnecessary,distraction, unless your audience is DEAF.
Computer imbecile here...would a foreign hosted VPN make individuals somewhat invisible to our governmental overlords?
grugsplatMy biggest issues is giving my id to people who can’t even secure it properly without a being hacked
Yup
mail_liw.😂 the shit browsers.
morethanfishingLooks like the old yellow pages are coming back
Benchgovernments are really creating the perfect storm of getting people off of device and irl... the peoplenwill wake up faste
I think it's more about widening the darken to be honest.
Fi FunDazeWill Firefox require an id?
Llama__fartsFirefox is a browser not a search engine
BennyGFunkUse Brave browser & duckduckgo - problem solved
Damonstan startpage
CI wonder how this will go if you have had a Google account for 13 years and you’re obviously not under 16 lmao
dooks🦘but what if you made your Gmail when you were 6 months old? 😂
CThey can check me applying for jobs with my resumes then 😂
dooks🦘are you saying four year olds cant apply for jobs now? so unfair haha 😂😂
CWell they can probably serve 20 year prison sentences and be tried as adults soon so we’re not far off
dooks🦘unfortunately you're not wrong there!
Lol.
Let's hope that's going to be taken into account.
Frankie the thirdsounds like my old Gmail account is going to be worth something
WonkaThe law says if an account is old enough it's considered ok but I guess we'll see
Kitzen 🇦🇺Considering my google thinks I’m a 14 year old French girl because of the fact I played the dating sim “my candy love” for a good part of my 20’s! I might have a problem 🤣
That's going to be a pain.
neilThis is where people realise it’s not about age
kwebs31I recently made a post to this where I simply explained that, for a long, long time I've used VPNs, a private browser AND a private search engine .... bypass all this government enforced dictatorship bullshit.
shantelle_elletnahsHow exactly are they blaming bullying for blocking SEARCH ENGINES
user9896060647wouldn't use the Chinese or Russian one
Neither.
ReddingtonI only use Google when the search result can't be found anywhere else
Electronic AlchemystInteresting that various countries around the world are now requiring I’d for different aspects of the internet. It’s like someone is trying to see what people will accept
zimzalabimDuckDuckGo is getting results from most sources except for Google, so pretty good deal I reckon 😂
Yup
Jeff_Perth_WA 🇦🇺Unless you're looking at or for illegal and/or inappropriate material, what's the genuine concern. Between streaming services, TT, YT and the cheeky look at cornhub on a lonely night at home. I don't give a 💩 or could careless.
jordanhastherunsLike you, I don’t really care if the government knows what I’m searching for - it’s usually running, basketball or sneakers. My concern is that I’d need to upload my ID to Google, which then opens me up to that being leaked in a data breach.
PLOTIs there a petition to keep them from doing this??
I do not belive there is
Rob2079🇨🇦Very informative, good video. didn't know there were self hosted search tools like this.
Self host is the only way to go!
PHaynesAnd everyone thought it was just kids who will be impacted
Exactly
cammysanit never was about protecting children, that's just how they rammed it thru
XelloTDI feel like it was pretty obvious everyone would have to do it
Moss100% it's always been about mass surveillance
Always.
Agreed
K2010Gand all those silly parents saying oh this is great because my child won't be able to access social media... well thanks so much for your lack of parenting and now the government using your uselessness as a way to pass sinister digital id/social credit system.
BigZidk how this is going to work with stuff like Google assistant/gemni
It will be account level at some point.
MaskinWhy is the government doing this?
Tracking, removing anonymity, linking your search directly to you as a person, not just an ip.
MaskinLong live duck duck go
Booyaaa
buknaked.agenda 2030, something we were warned about for decades
rayharvey15Albo is a Fabian, that could possibly explain why.
djillusions24Searxng is 🔥
Bearso don't use them. dump them use Linux for all you internet and dump every app or search engine that requires you to upload ID. give it a few weeks it all falls down.
Yup, stop using the services that make money from you using it, and they will force it to change.
scottvpn
I belive it's account level so vpn doesn't help.
AussieStarTrekerWhat if using a VPN???
I belive it's account level so vpn won't help.
Blaine CostelloJust jumping on your VPN concept, if its Australian based legislation.. wouldn't using VPN to a country that doesn't have that legislation mean you would bypass it?
BunnyI've seen some talk from certain countries about banning the use of VPNs as well 😬
Yup, many European countries, China, and soon Australia...
I belive it's going to be account level, so not sure if a VPN will solve.
Garth VaderI’m ready 🙋♂️🤳🏾
HaruHow do you feel about brave vs duckduckgo?
I use duckduckgo and it's OK, but I also feel the quality of Google has been dropping for a long time as it is.
Michael WheatlandThe proof of age requirements are for social media, not search engines?
beebeejay01The fact that anyone thinks they are anonymous in this day and age is only for fools. Let’s all admit every single thing we do is tracked and has been for a very long time. So let’s just stop playing pretend anonymous online, in fact I think it might even create a better world, where the cockroaches have no where to hide and yeah your behaviour online is a reflection of you, so all the weirdos can be held accountable. Sorry not sorry
LilbrotherLeeWill edge be adding this in?
If you use Google or Bing then yes.
mojoscopedo not use chat gpt. the data goes straight to israel to profile you
scottno one cares
And that's the shame.
mojoscopebruh many of us have stopped using google. its zio now
the_networkingwizardI’m interested in knowing how this is going to work in a corporate settings. Is it going to bypass this ID check?
Good question.
EillesaYeah, will work know what im looking up when im at home too?
the_networkingwizardYour work already knows what your googling, what sites your visiting, what your doing on your work computer.
EillesaI was referring to my own personal computer. Remember one ID?
the_networkingwizardExactly!
OMG Laserguns! 🇦🇺I trust my company with my data more than I trust the government or any external corporation 😅
phatandsassy 🇦🇺It’s for when you’re logged in to google or bing. Stay logged out. Use DDG or Brave. The whole thing is silly.
Mickey KnowledgyHey Google: Is the Earth flat??
Lol
