The children cause is obviously a justification to push for digital ID, digital ID will be the ultimate tool to use to further domesticate the public and control them. It was pushed during covid lockdowns and when that didn’t work, other justifications are waiting, sometimes children, sometimes illegal immigrants, depending on your audience.

But the children one is very effective, because there’s this overprotective hysteria about them, especially when most aren’t technically children (a 16yo isn’t a child for example), and this is very new concept that had serious impact on both the young ones or their parents, back in the day kids used to play outside, used to live their lives and learn, now in the Karen-led society kids can’t be even left alone in the house, or having your 3 kids using the public transportation to go to school (https://globalnews.ca/news/7145065/vancouver-dad-appeal-kids...), it destroyed kids independence or learning how to be one, while adding extra overhead on parents that eventually they stopped having kids entirely.
