The Government’s proposed age restriction laws could evolve into a sweeping digital identification system covering much more than online safety, warn critics.
In a post on X, political commentator @2ETEKA says the National-led Government has only temporarily delayed its social media age restriction legislation and planned to expand it into a broader identity verification framework before the next election.
The post claimed Prime Minister Christopher Luxon remained committed to introducing the law, but that officials were now considering a “more wide-ranging solution” similar to European Union digital identity systems. The claims referenced the EU’s planned digital identity wallet and age verification tools, arguing they could eventually require internet users to verify their identity to access social media and other online services.
Such systems would lead to increased government oversight, reduced online anonymity, and security risks if personal data was compromised. As yet the Government has not announced plans for a nationwide digital ID system tied to social media access but commentators say the globalist move is being planned by bureaucrats and politicians in Wellington.
The comments come amid ongoing debate over online safety measures for children and how governments should enforce age restrictions on digital platforms.
🚩Book mark this post : This will soon be announced.
Yesterday National said they are pausing the (Labour supported) bill for social media age restrictions – FOR NOW, Luxon has promised to push through the law before the election.
The reason for the delay ? Well It’s going to… https://t.co/7jSiFcszFq pic.twitter.com/sX4KLxqXdQ

Amazing how these countries ignore the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child that they have all signed. The Convention states that children have the right to access all types of media and that parents have ultimate responsibility for the upbringing of their children. Not the effing government!
It’s not about ‘children’, it’s intended to sneak in Digi ID for all.
NZ Govt, like all Western Govt’s are walking in lock-step with the WEF / COP23 / UN Agenda 2030.
Luxon is not a leader; he’s a puppet.
Fascbook and JooTube now requires validation of I.D. and age to even watch videos anymore despite the rating…
Just imagine all of the fake age / ID accounts that the kids have constructed…and in due course, they’ll be voting as well.
Hey Luxsingh!!! Leave our kids alone!!!
That’s a face that needs a slap
Luxon is not deciding anything – he is following the orders from the globalist technocrats. Hipkins and Peters would do exactly the same. The “party” system is fake democracy where the citizens have no say on any of the decisions which will impact them – your protesting will be ignored but held up as evidence of “democracy” and “free speech”, and give the police (state enforcement service) the opportunity to practice their “crowd control”.
A child safety Trojan horse to develop a surveillance state of the kind we are seeing develop in Australia, US, Germany and the UK. This is really jut reinvented “show me your pass” technocratic Fascism, which illustrates how weak their hold on office is, how despised they are by the public at large and that hatred is no doubt, growing.
National need to sent to the political wasteland, as is happening in Australia, UK, Germany and France with their fake right globalists.
I’d think twice about NZF too. A vote for them is by extension a vote for these vile dehumanizing creeps.
Vote for the New Zealand Loyal Party!
Any political party that has not suffered de-banking, the imposed lack of media coverage, and threats of the leaders being sent to jail for sharing a link to a video after the fact that can be freely viewed in other countries is attention-getting with regards to governmental behaviours.
Look what happened earlier today…a group organised over concerns of massive immigrations coming from India…arrested and their personal property seized / stolen.

Kinda reminds one of the crap that Nicky Hager, the Locke Family, Kim Dotcom and the Urewea Four had to put up with!
Here’s an interesting discussion on totalitarianism, technocratic totalitarianism and mass psychosis… which is what we’re entering into now, if not already well down the path…

OK people what are we going to do about it to stop this?
Everything will stop in < 4 weeks
Start by not voting for any of them…..
Fascism is alive and well in NZ…..
It’s technocratic totalitarianism. Fascism as a label conjures up images of Hitler, Mussolini and jack-booted storm-troopers; while technocratic totalitarianism is delivered on behalf of their corporate masters by bland administrators wearing designer labels or smart/casual office wear. They are similarities with fascism, but also more than enough differences to justify a distinct, and more accurate label.
You just defined Fascism. Who do you think bank rolled Hitler. The major donors were big business in Germany, the US and Europe. Some are still in business to this day and went largely unpunished.
Technocratic totalitarianism is similar but different from early 20th century fascism. It is far more insidious as it appears innocuous and many people think they will benefit or have their lives made easier as they are pillaged and corralled into a life of servitude and poverty.
At the moment it is candy coated totalitarianism, however that will change. I suspect it’ll change rapidly once the technocrats have got their robots to a stage where they can reliably be used widely – and that’s not far off. And I agree the controllers multigenerational dynasties, many of whose predecessors backed Hitler and engineered both world wars.
