So they verify by other means, eg facial recognition. The government has your ID already, so they’re getting access to this additional personal information via private third parties.
and forbids anything collected for verification purposes from being used for any other purpose.
Forbidding something is almost meaningless when you cannot monitor and enforce it. There is virtually no way to prove they aren’t selling data under the table.
Sure, but at that point why have any laws at all? What’s the point of Europe’s GDPR? What’s the point of Australia’s Privacy Act 1988? Why do we bother talking about any data regulation?
You’re missing the nuance. GDPR laws prevent collection.
This law requires collection, but only within a certain scope. However it’s nearly impossible to tell whether that data was collected for the permitted scope, or if it’s also being used in ways it shouldn’t.
GDPR requires less data collection, this law requires more.

It’s an absurd complaint to have.
If you could please link me to the previous comment you were referring to above, the one you didn’t want to re-type, that would be much appreciated.
The hyperbole from your comment reeks. What you’re saying is absurd.
GDPR and Australia’s Privacy Act are enforced. Companies are restricted from data collection by those laws.
This law requires companies to increase data collection, and potentially requires them to release that data to the government.
You seemingly have no perspective on the direction of these things.
Yes…that is…the whole point…
