Typical government move. Have a blatantly obvious questionable agenda to make spying on citizens easier, but tie it to something like children or “freedom”. Makes it easy to go “don’t you care about the children?!” This approach is so lazy it’s both insulting and nauseating.
I wonder how many children will be saved. Surely they've calculated this, given the high cost of freedom of information/speech being severely restricted.
Probably none. Currently police has not enough men to even work through current data. Of course more data will fix this problem
Tangentially related to this, but this is something that should be talk about with legislation more often: Will the new law be enforceable? And at what cost?
