It’s so fucking funny to me to see governments unwilling to do anything positive to support their constituents constantly stumbling in to this same kind of law. Like, governments that want more control over their citizens but are completely unwilling to offer them any additional benefits in exchange for that control.

So instead they frame it as “protecting the children” because who’s ever gonna object to that? But nah, it’s about actually being able to enforce other moral panic laws and forcing more information in to the hands of servaliance capitalism.
