It’s the same as scanning for CSAM, or encryption-backdoors “to catch criminals”.

Of course we hate child abuse.

Of course we hate criminals.

Of course we hate social media addicting our kids.

But they’re just used as emotional framing for the true underlying desire: government surveillance.

(For the record: I am not into conspiracy theories; the EU has seen proposals for - imho technically impossible - “legally-breakable encryption” alone in 2020, 2022, and 2025; now we”ll also see repeated attempts at the “age verification” thing to force all adults to upload their IDs to ‘secure’ web portals)
