If you're familiar with the phrase never waste an emergency. That's how a lot of politics work.

You have a pre-existing agenda, and you're waiting for opportunities to frame it publicly where people can't fight you.

Some attack on the country, some big controversy in the media, or the good old think of the children.

As with most laws, the title is only a suggestion, the rules of the law are what matter..

You should surrender your rights because...

  • ~~Communism~~
  • ~~Terrorism~~
  • Child Abuse <-- You Are Here

Indeed, mass media influence toward giving up your rights is very common, especially in democracies. (Ironically, these are often the same rights that are necessary for a healthy democracy.) It has been going on since long before I was born. See also: propaganda, engineering of consent.

If you wanna protect children, you restrict their access to the internet in the first place. Good parenting and restricted access to technology is the way to go.

We need more encryption and less MacBooks at school for 8 year olds.

MacBooks actually have great parenting controls.

Fuck Chromebook though

At this point I treat every article and ruling that have anything to do with "the children" as being done with an ulterior motive.

So far that's been the case every single time.
