I really think it’s disgusting to boldly claim this is just to protect children. Then get the proposal denied with very valid reasoning that everyone’s privacy would be compromised.
And then, a few months later, they have the exact same argument again with the same proposal as before… This seems deeply disrespectful of the subject matter
It feels like a someone is trying to steal a cookie from a cookie jar, but when mum said no you just try again the exact same way…
It literally harms children. The EFF has done a good job explaining this
Have a link?
They have a lot of articles about this but here’s a recent one in the kid’s own words saying why they believe such legislation is harmful to them
