EU trying to kill E2E encryption for citizens while explicitly excluding companies and politicians is not exactly better. To protect the kids, of course.
Seems like the powerful and wealthy are done with letting us plebs having a go at this new medium. Can’t let regular people influence society can they?
weird how those who keep claiming “protect the kids!” really just want to control everything you do and spy on you. and then they keep getting busted for things like pedophelia, child molestation, chid sex trafficking, and possessing child porn?
If they wanted to protect kids they’d have a long list of better options.
Gun control
Better funding for education
Mental health services
Improvements to adoption/foster care systems
The list goes on. We’ve been shown the government only cares about kids until they’re born. So until those things are fixed, I’m going to assume it’s not really about the kids, and more about stripping our rights away.

Protect them by making them smarter, not by stripping away our constitutional rights.
but education is bad for those in power. so are your rights.

It is always Blumenthal behind these anti-internet and anti-free speech bills. Always. He was behind the last few attempts under other names as well.
