The article says congress should pass a privacy bill to protect kids.

But it's never about the kids. It's always about surviellance and tracking people. For corporations it allows better monetization while for the government it allows better control.

No. The article says:

   Protect Privacy For *Everyone*

   There is a better way to protect young people online. 
   Instead of encouraging a complicated system of age 
   checks, more monitoring, and more restrictions on access 
   to information, Congress could finally pass a strong, 
   comprehensive privacy law[0] that benefits all users. A 
   great place to start would be to ban behavioral 
   advertising that tracks us across the web—again, for 
   users of all ages.

Or am I missing something? Do tell.
