This is obviously about kids. The problem is it requires surveillance. You don't get to decide what it's not about.

How is it “obviously about the kids”? Is it because they mentioned them? I would argue it will impact the kids but this isn’t being done for their benefit, it’s being done to regulate what we have access to as a whole. Slippery slope coming up!
It will apply to everyone once you have to prove you are over 16. Kids are just the excuse.
The way this has been pushed through after countless attempts over the past decade, and push back from advising experts, does not feel like it originates from genuine concern for children. It feels like a state trying to wrestle for digital control amidst rising civil unrest.
Almost anything can be made "about the kids" with the right framing.
and why do you get to decide what it "is about"?
I didn't say people couldn't decide what it's about.
Riddle me this. If you have to verify yourself to prove you are over 16, did that just deanonymize you? Yes.
Good job I said this, then:
> The problem is it requires surveillance.
So it's not "obviously about kids" then.
