Any time a bill claims to be about protecting children, 10/10 times it's actually hiding something more sinister that has nothing to do with that. I don't trust this.

You'd be right in this case too. It's extremely sketchy, it's pretty much absolute censorship power with only an informal promise that it won't be used for anything nefarious (but a refusal to actually codify anything preventing that). "Harmful content" is left very conveniently vague.

Can you elaborate on that claim? I couldn't find anything substantial in the article.

if they decide that treating the "transgendereds" like people is "harmful to children" then it'll be banned.
