Victoria’s government has implemented measures that raise significant concerns about privacy and free speech, including trials for digital IDs and demands for user identification on online platforms. These actions reflect a broader trend of increasing state control over personal data and online expression, often justified under the guise of combating hate speech or public health. The implications for individual liberty are profound, as citizens face potential censorship and surveillance in both digital and physical sectors.
