This is WILD. They’re not even discussing that “children” may have the same kind of right to privacy as adults.
And by “children” it’s everyone under 18. So 17, 16 ,15 yr olds will all get their photos scanned and they will do their best to prevent them from watching porn 🤣

I supposed it will at least increase tech literacy rates. Installing a VPN isn’t actually that hard and it’s a useful life skill. I fully support labour in there efforts to further incentivise the learning of IT skills.

It’s nothing to do with protecting kids. It’s about having access to communications before they can be encrypted. It is surveillance dressed as concern for kids
