Which is weird because I'm obligated to collect data from UK visitors, but not obligated to share it back with the UK government. This means UK government has essentially mandated that every country collects data on UK citizens. Something opposite of what EU and others do.

Just a coincidence world governments all became concerned about kids on the same day 😅

There isn't enough terrorism to justify things with that, so children it is.

We don't have that many children either, looking at demographic developments.

But fascists will find a way through moral hijacking.

We can AI generate pictures of more. See, look how helpless these definitely real children are! We need to protect them from being sexualised- oops, that one shouldn't be in this folder. It's from Grok, forget you ever saw it.

Problem is its not actually about the children. As always they're the excuse. The UK Government will stoop to almost any excuse possible to give itself more surveillance powers - it took 1984 as a goal rather than a warning.

Or teaching parents how to parent properly, or cracking down on addictive social media algorithms, or researching the ill affects of pornography, or providing counseling to teens and adults harmed by dangerous materials.

One of the porn sites I visit has a pop up when the home page first loads that says

If you have children, implement parental controls.

And a link to a guide for how to do that.
