I don’t know? Maybe its the little give and take that helps build a solution that is mature and limits the kind of harms kid are facing, without sacrificing privacy?

It’s also the very cool, nuanced and technical tooling that people here tend to enjoy figuring out, and building.

It side steps the thought terminating tar pits of “privacy at all costs” or “save the children”.
