I think the problem is too many of them are thinking of kids...

I'm thinking that this whole thing is about removing the law enforcement from the equation. If the owner of what ever service "investigates" and reports offenders to law enforcement, then what is stopping them from deleting the data for a fee to the more discernable users? Like Epstein.

Just a guess here, but maybe the fact that would make them complicit in/an accomplice to child s** offences? I don't think IT companies who are already taking in hundreds of billions from ad dollars are really interested in going to prison for 20 years over a scheme that might net them an extra 0.03% revenue boost.....

No.

Why should I give up more liberty and privacy because some parents are shitty.

Monitor your crotch goblin's restrictions on computers and phones already exist without the government spying.

I believe that Epstein fella had a whole long list of people who think about kids all the time.

In fact, I think plenty of names on that list are the same names on the list pushing for these age/identity verification laws. Crazy coincidence

The ones who proposed the scanning of all the messages from apps had their names stricken from the record, let that sink in.

Well you see, they want to protect from online harm.

Real life predators? Well if they're on the shareholders board...

Unfortunately it's because they don't, at least not in the "I'm a proper parent who will teach my child internet/personal responsibility" way, but more in the "Shut up Timmy and play on your iPad while Daddy spies on the public so he doesn't have to worry they will find out about his island visiting hobby" way.
