Yes, the FPB bill as its currently presented has the government gathering contact information for anyone accessing R18-rated material. Except that thanks to the DHA, FICA, and RICA, the government already has multiple lists of everyone in the country over 18, and 9 times out of 10 you can pick any name at random and land up with an online porn user.
Stop trying to make it sound more Orwellian than it really is. The bill is poorly thought out, badly worded, and unclearly defined. It’s not a cunning master plan to lock down free speech – it’s an intern’s bad coursework.
