Communications Minister Michelle Rowland pledged that under the new bill, Australians would not be required to provide personal identification like driver's licences or passports to social media platforms.
Rowland reassured both sides of the political spectrum that designated platforms must not compel users to submit ID to maintain access to their social media profiles.
Concerns over privacy and identification issues were raised by both Coalition and Labor MPs, but the government is determined to push through the bill promptly.
Despite negotiations, including amendments ensuring no ID submission to verify age, dissent exists among Coalition members, with some pledging to oppose the legislation.
