The only laws about child safety online should make it child abuse to let your kid on a damn platform.
I get it. Protect kids. But don’t fundamentally break the Internet for the sake of something that could be easily handled by parents that fucking pay attention to their children and treat them as more than object but as actual people instead of placating screams with screens.
Don’t ban steak because a child might choke while trying to eat one.

It is never about children. It is about surveillance with a thin vernier to vocalize imbeciles. Trusting government is a time honored tradition of the worst of incompetent humans. Picture a world where Google Meta and Amazon are the Kremlin. Think of the information they have, cameras on every house, every bit of your life history online and in government. All power that can be abused will be abused eventually. The ownership over your digital footprint is direct ownership over you in the end. The only effect this has on the future is the subjugation and theft of these children’s future autonomy.
