Starmer is about to make it illegal not to hand over your identity to the companies which profit the most from having your identity, in order to "give kids their childhoods back."

No, this is how liberty dies: with a "think of the children."

@bodil, that's exactly how Russia made it up years ago. Labeled it "in the name of the children" and pushed it as far as possible limiting freedom because it's always not enough as new threats are coming. It's kinda upsetting to see how the world falls down into the same trap.
