So, the number of global conflicts have increased, the climate change bill is coming due, etc. So, naturally, politicians' priority is to protect children.. from internet, not the above shit. No wonder, we are such rational creatures.
Bullshit, NONE of this has anything to do with children, and we ALL know it, so stop repeating it as if it's true.
This is about surveilling EVERYBODY, and connecting their online activity with their exact name. They want to remove anonymity from everybody.
The argument is that the lifetime of damage caused by surrendering your anonymity on the Internet, won't be as bad as kids learning what human genitalia looks like. Because hoping your children never learn about sex is MAHA.
it's perfectly rational once you stop believing this has anything to do with children, that's the irrational part.
Imagine how much easier the population will be to control once they are no longer informed of the above issues. That's the end goal
You can hide from the news, but not from reality, but I don't expect deep philosophical thoughts from the most people, including politicians.
