Nice try with that “we need to do this to protect the kids” nonsense, but the baddies have already tipped their hands. They want this so they can mass surveil and track people they don’t like, to put real names and faces to every social media post, every purchase, every chat message. They want the power to silence opposition before it can become organized. They want control. This has nothing to do with protecting children. It never does.
They did when you adopted smart phone and smart home technology, same with everyone else. They have it for most people because most people knowingly use corporate social media sites like TikTok, Facebook. Twitter/X, Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, and the like, and those are collecting data too.
We know this objectively because the FBI just released footage in the Guthrie case that shouldn’t exist, and definitely shouldn’t be hanging out in a government database either.
You’re not protecting yourself or anyone by allowing these systems to access kids without any regulation whatsoever. I appreciate that it makes you feel good to think that you are, though.
They have the beginnings of it. The foundation of it. They don’t have it all yet though. They’re never satisfied with the level of control they have at any given time. They will continue to pursue more sweeping, more draconian measures until they either destroy themselves or incite the oppressed to do it for them. It’s like saying the ultra rich aren’t going to fuck us over for more money because they already have so much money.

Not all. Government-proof systems (Signal and other E2EE things, federated things, many open source projects, etc.) are (mostly) not illegal.
