The digital ID is a trap—a kind of hell—crafted by international communism.
No Digital ID, but yes to D/Ls that contain visa/citizenship status.









From 10 December, Australians must hand over their personal data to third parties (engaged by Big Tech — what could possibly go wrong?) for the ‘privilege’ of using social media (including YouTube). And from 27 December, we’ll be required to upload our ID just to do an internet search.
“Boiling the Frog” – How Digital ID Is Quietly Creeping Into Our Lives
Dear Friends,
Every week, more Australians are waking up to the sneaky and deliberate rollout of the Digital ID system — and many of you are seeing it first hand.
Last week, one of our readers — an accountant— wrote to us saying:
“I was forced to ‘consent’ to Digital ID to access the ATO Tax Agent Portal. They said it was just a new name — from MyGovID to MyID — but now it links everything together. I can’t do my job without it. They can turn on or off what I can access. It’s all happening in plain sight.”
That’s exactly how it works — small steps, quiet updates, gentle nudges.
Until suddenly, we realise we’re sitting in a pot of warm water that’s been heating slowly for years.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s the boiling frog effect.
And it’s happening now, right here in Australia.
The Backdoor Approach
The government keeps telling us that Digital ID is “voluntary.”
But if you read the fine print and watch what’s happening, the reality tells a different story.
Under Section 74 of the Digital ID Act 2024, it clearly states:
“A participating relying party must not, as a condition of providing a service or access to a service, require an individual to create or use a digital ID.”
Sounds fair, doesn’t it?
But in practice, this promise is being ignored.
Government departments like the ATO are already forcing professionals to use the new “MyID” just to access their work portals. There is no practical alternative.
If refusing means losing your livelihood, then “voluntary” becomes a word with no meaning at all.
This is how control systems grow — not by open force, but by quietly removing every other door until there’s only one way left.
The Boil Is Getting Hotter
Here’s what’s also happening:
👉Essential services like ATO, Medicare, and Centrelink are being tied to Digital ID logins.
👉Private platforms (like OneDrive, Gmail, and even phones) are being configured to link and sync data automatically.
👉New “safety codes” are being rolled out under the banner of “protecting the public,” giving bureaucrats and Big Tech enormous power to decide what’s “safe,” “true,” and “appropriate.”
Piece by piece, a control network is being built where everything you do — from your pension to your tax return — is tied to one centralised ID.
Once that happens, opting out won’t be possible.
Australians Are Starting to Push Back
Many Australians are already taking a stand.
We found this post circulating on Facebook, and it perfectly captures the feeling across the country:
“Hi there Facebook/X/WhatsApp friends,
This is my last Facebook/X/WhatsApp post, and I want to explain why.
From 10 December, Australians must hand over their personal data to third parties (engaged by Big Tech — what could possibly go wrong?) for the ‘privilege’ of using social media (including YouTube). And from 27 December, we’ll be required to upload our ID just to do an internet search.
This is dangerous, unprecedented government overreach — an invasive intrusion of privacy that even George Orwell (1984) couldn’t have imagined.
I won’t comply with this nonsense and will instead close all my social media accounts.
The under-16 social media ban is being introduced to ‘protect kids,’ but in reality, it’s control, coercion, and surveillance disguised as protection. During COVID it was about ‘protecting granny.’ Same playbook, new excuse.
If it’s truly about protecting children, why are gaming, gambling, and pornography platforms exempt?
Similar to the so-called ‘safe and effective’ COVID jabs, Digital ID is being sold as ‘voluntary, secure, and convenient,’ yet its real purpose is to track and trace every online action, purchase, medical record, and association.
I’ve lost trust in all sides of politics...
I will refuse to participate in this deceitful Digital ID.
If you want to know more about why I (and thousands of other Australians) are choosing not to comply, please call me — I’d be delighted to share more.”
This post has inspired many others to follow suit — shutting down their Facebook, Instagram, or X accounts in protest.
If you’ve had enough of being monitored and manipulated, you can do the same.
What You Can Do Right Now
If enough Australians simply refuse, the system cannot take hold.
Refuse to enrol in Digital ID systems wherever it’s still optional. Protect your devices — store documents locally, not in automatically synced clouds. Ask questions — of your MP, accountant, or local council. Make them explain Section 74. Educate others — print and share our flyers, or request copies from us. Consider leaving social media platforms that demand your personal ID. Talk to friends and family — help them see what’s happening before it’s too late.
A Special Thank You
We’re so grateful for your courage, honesty, and heart.
Every message — whether from a grandmother, a young professional, or a small business owner — reminds us why this fight matters.
This isn’t about rejecting technology. It’s about rejecting control.
Technology should serve us, not the other way around.
Each week, ACA will share more facts, resources, and tools to help Australians stay informed, stay independent, and stay free.
Together, we can turn down the heat before it’s too late.
You are not alone. Together, we can resist the quiet boil.
With love and determination,
Barbara Mavridis

Russia is taking another major step toward a fully state-controlled Internet, with lawmakers advancing a proposal that would make the country’s biometric and digital ID systems mandatory for all online age verification.
If approved, the plan would effectively eliminate online anonymity in Russia.
It will force citizens to verify their identity through government-run systems every time they access “adult” or “potentially harmful” content.
The proposal, discussed on October 28, is being promoted as a child protection initiative.
However, critics warn it’s the latest front in Moscow’s long campaign to bring the internet under total state supervision.
Officials claim the measure is meant to block minors from viewing pornography, violent media, and what they call “propaganda of antisocial behavior.”
But the definition of restricted content is so broad that it could easily encompass political speech, satire, or dissent.


The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has just given a huge boost to California’s plan to continue building one of the most expansive digital verification regimes in the country.
The appeals court refused to rehear NetChoice v. Bonta, leaving in place a ruling that allows California to advance a system critics warn could become a statewide online digital ID requirement.
The court’s decision keeps intact most of Senate Bill 976, the Protecting Our Kids from Social Media Addiction Act.
The bill was signed by Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom in September 2024.
The law forces social media companies to implement “age assurance” systems to determine whether users are adults or minors.
However, the law means that all adults will be required to submit proof of age to access social media.
In practice, that means platforms may have to require digital ID checks for all users.
The new law will force millions of Californians to upload government documents, biometrics, or other personal data simply to view or share lawful speech online.
Apple has rolled out its new “Digital ID” system to replace identification documents, including passports, with approval from the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
The new platform, which Apple has literally called “Digital ID,” allows iPhone and Apple Watch users to store a digital copy of their U.S. passport in Apple Wallet and present it at TSA checkpoints.
The new platform is a major step toward a fully centralized, biometric identity system.

The top hazard is that every time you use a digital ID instead of, say, your driver's license, that will be reported the federal government instantly.
It will also be integrated with all your credit card purchases.
And your medical records.
And your cellphone records.
This will give the government unwarranted visibility into what everyone is doing, all the time, and the easy ability to find and murder dissidents. Say, people who don't want to get the latest poison jab from Pfizer/Palantir.
