That's the trick, it's always been about control. No-one in such positions actually cares about the children.

It's always been internet access control, there is no child protection.

Access control and pervasive surveillance has been the plan since day one; child protection is the leverage. Also, I don't expect people who repeatedly hide the contents of certain files to care about children.

You must be crazy, who could possibly object to governments "protecting the children"?

It's too late and never about children, simply deeper forms of data harvesting and surveillance.

What makes me extremely sad and concerned is that more recent generations simply have no idea or expectation of privacy online anymore. There will never be more of a fight against all this Orwellian behavior.

Too many people making too much money - to be honest, people really should blame tech for it, all it takes is RSUs to look the other way. Morally most of the US is running far away from tech and the surveillance state but here it’s still okay to work for monsters.
