  Banning alcohol and cigarettes from children seems to have worked, if not perfect, rather fine.

    Or making it illegal to pass a stopped school bus.

    Actual “protect children” laws don’t get talked about because absolutely nobody has a problem with them.

    Modern* protect children bills would be more accurate.

    The playbook these days is to use children, terrorism, etc to justify something that fails to address that problem and pushes some other agenda.

    This has been true anyway in the US and UK. I have no clue how true this is in France and I won’t pretend to know, but from some other comments on the potential implementation could be better than what we’ve seen so far. I hope so, anyway.
