It's really frustrating that this whole situation is caused by people not knowing how to enable parental controls.
I honestly believe that the "think of the children" is just the cover for more control.
Its happening worldwide all at a similair time - it feels coordinated.
It 100% is, it always has been. We've had decades of overreaching legislation towards tech based on the false premise of protecting children.
Which is really dumb on Europe's part since they're trying to regain digital sovereignty. All this digital ID bullshit is doing is forcing themselves back onto giant US tech monopolies
Not so much dumb as suspicious.
the epstein files proves that it's coordinated and it's happening because narratives like the gaza genocide and life in china are going more viral than the mainstream media; so they're working at making sure that there are too few people accessing it to keep future crimes against humanity from going viral again and the man-o-sphere's existence proves that it will work.
They know how to do it. They don't want you to remain anonymous and free of their shackles. This was never about the children, just look at the amount of the pedophiles in the governments of the world.
Parental controls only work for their children (assuming they have any). They want the ability to also control your children, and ideally you.
Parents and children have nothing to do with this.
This whole situation is caused by fascists in your government. Which shouldn't be frustrating, but rather galvanizing to action.
