It’s really interesting. The old web was the wild west, and back then you really had to know where to look for shady stuff (except the morons who put it on the open web and were sacked by the respective authorities). Nowadays this shit is commercialized and running ads on social media - as if protecting children does not actually have anything to do with privacy violations, age verification, ALPRs or preventing teens from using social media, but rather actual police work that doesn’t create a population that is naked to the eye of the state.
Everyone who goes for backdooring encryption and ID verification just wants to automate the punishment of dissidents who want something different than the ruling class.
On one hand, these tech megacorps are pushing for privacy violating measures to “protect the children”
On the other hand they’re literally profiting off child abuse and refuse to stop it. See e.g. Roblox refusing to deal with paedos because they were the highest paying customers…

Yeah, I quite “love” this BS.

Roblox is the worst of the bunch, exploiting unpaid child work and doing nothing against the real predators.
