Hate these bills sweeping the world disguising what are essentially anti privacy pro surveillance laws as "child protection".
Honestly could we just ban most forms of new social media? Shit is toxic to the health of not just kids but also adults.
We did fine before facebook, twitter and tiktok existed.
Let's go back to Myspace, personal websites, tumblr and random forums! No xenforo tho. Fuck xen.
How is it surveillance? Just don't give them your ID or use the platform, they have negative value anyway.
My understanding is that a ban is not the desired goal, more an 'emergency break' while other regulatory means catch up.
