I’m still confused as to how this has anything to do with the population at large. Monitor your fucking kids.
“Protect the kids” is just the current excuse to erode privacy and implement further government surveillance measures. If this was truly about protecting children they’d be regulating social media companies to stop them from being so harmful in the first place.
As someone who was a teenager when the internet became a thing, I agree there should be a debate on the topic. Because as I see it, our brains got broken differently after the internet.
There is a healthy way to approach this. There is a minimum age for social media. Buuuut… I’m not the one who should be saying what that is.
the problem here is that all politicians are reallty after is “age verification” which is just an excuse to deannonymize the intenet and track everyone
That’s exactly it. It has nothing to do with protecting children, it’s sole purpose is to get rid of any semblance of privacy
It’s also to de-platform an silence them.
