No. History taught me one thing only: if they say they want to protect kids, it’s never about the kids. It’s a slogan that helps to sell unpopular laws

If you think blocking access to knowledge about sexuality, atheism, or drugs is actually protecting children and not about a controlling unpopular law I don’t know what to tell you. Because it’s clearly not actually intended to protect children as much as it is to block inconvenient information to help indoctrinate children to be compliant and unquestioning.

They want to bind your id with the device you use and restricting queer kids from discovering that they’re queer is the best thing you have in mind?
