Teenagers in the industrial city of Newcastle, north of Sydney, speak out against the Labor government’s legislation to bar them from accessing social media platforms.
The Netherlands has had digital ID (DigiD) since 2005 or something. It’s basically just a government account that allows you to do official stuff online, like your tax returns. You’re not forced to use or even have a DigiD, but it does make some things easier because you can do all your government business online in stead of filling out papers or having to visit actual buildings.
Sadly I can’t use mine at the moment, because I switched phone numbers when I moved to another country and forgot to change it, and now my multi-step verification won’t work and I’d have to go there to ID myself in person to reactivate it. :p
Edit: Was curious so looked it up. DigiD has existed in the Netherlands since 2003, though the name was changed to DigiD in 2004.
In Spain we just have a SHA-256 certificate signed by the government certification authority. You can download a file but you also have it on your ID. The file can be imported into Firefox and used for authentication on government websites. You can also sign documents with it and it’s a valid, legal signature.
