  No it’s about safety.

  Obviously the way you ensure safety is to give your identity to dodgy companies with poor cybersecurity.

  If this was really about protecting kids, there would be an emphasis on supporting parents in keeping their kids safe online.

  It’s the same with anything else that’s “for the children”, it’s about control, always has been.
