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,

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 good news is that this exact same system can be used to track down and imprison the elitist bastards who are imposing it on us.
Apple’s controversial push toward a nationwide Digital ID platform took another major step this week after officials in Arkansas and Virginia quietly updated their government websites to confirm they have now committed to supporting the new system.
Both states have now officially introduced support for Apple Wallet digital driver’s licenses.
The move signals that Apple’s biometric identification system, already boosted by the rollout of its new passport-based Digital ID, is rapidly accelerating, with more states expected to follow.
Both Arkansas and Virginia operate their own mobile ID apps already, and the language added to their official sites makes clear that Apple Wallet integration is no longer theoretical but underway.
Virginia announced that the state has signed on to allow residents to add their driver’s licenses and IDs to Apple Wallet “in the future,” offering no date.
However, the infrastructure is in place, and rollout is widely expected to move quickly from here.
This expansion fits into a larger trend that has intensified over just the past six months.
A wave of states, including Connecticut, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Utah, and others, have announced plans to support Apple Wallet IDs.
Meanwhile, Apple’s new federal-level solution using U.S. passports in iOS 26.1 is providing the company with a powerful proof-of-concept to show that digital identity that works across airports, agencies, and eventually, everyday life.
A quiet but explosive global push is underway as the United Nations (UN) advances a new plan to roll out a Gates Foundation-backed digital ID and payment system in 50 major countries around the world.
Critics warn that the dystopian effort could redefine citizenship, erase privacy, and convert basic human rights into state-managed digital privileges.
The UN, backed aggressively by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is fast-tracking a worldwide digital ID system designed to envelop 50 nations by 2028.
The initiative, branded as the UN’s “50-in-5” campaign, aims to lock participating nations into Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).
DPI is a system that incorporates biometric digital IDs, interoperable payment networks, and centralized data-sharing systems.
The project is being marketed as modernization.
However, civil liberties experts warn that it is the architecture of unprecedented global control.
Europe’s political class just took another leap toward a system of mandatory digital identification for the general public after passing a sweeping new bill in the European Parliament.
However, despite widespread concerns about surveillance and centralized control, European Union elites are packaging the bloc-wide digital ID rollout as “protecting the children.”
The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly to endorse EU-wide age-verification rules that would apply to every major social platform, video service, and AI chatbot.
The measure is technically “non-binding,” but the vote, 483 in favor, 92 against, signals that the EU’s long-planned digital identity system is no longer theoretical.
It is becoming the precondition for participating in digital life.
Behind the soft language of safety is something far more sweeping: the architecture of a permanent digital checkpoint state.
The EU’s “Child Safety” Plan Requires Constant Identity Checks
The new framework would force every internet user to re-identify themselves every 90 days just to keep accessing everyday platforms. ...
Behind every line of legislation hides the same dangerous core: Access becomes conditional on identity.
Once digital ID becomes tied to browsing, posting, messaging, or even reading online content, anonymity disappears.
And once anonymity disappears, speech becomes fragile, visible to governments, corporations, political enforcers, and anyone else who stands behind the digital gate.
The new system will usher in a new set of globalist-approved rules where:
• Every login is a checkpoint
• Every user is a traceable data trail
• Every opinion is connected to a verified legal identity
This is a future where dissent becomes punishable, privacy becomes suspicious, and online life becomes a fully monitored space.
This is a future where dissent becomes punishable, privacy becomes suspicious, and online life becomes a fully monitored space.
Alaska is moving forward with one of the most expansive digital ID proposals in the United States as the state prepares to roll out a redesigned myAlaska platform to centralize identity, payments, and all citizen data for the general public.
The system would merge AI automation, identity credentials, biometric verification, and digital payments into a single, state-controlled gateway for nearly every government service.

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.
