God forbid people teach their kids sex/getting off is a drug and can be abused.

Or you know you could punish parents for not parenting. Like if kids are watching porn and caught and if it's actually against some law then go after the parents.
It's not hard to teach parents how to implement a filtering DNS. But no, countries think they need to be the nanny.

"Protecting children" is just the pretext under which governments can sell increased surveillance. The fact that there are more effective ways they could act to protect children, yet governments everywhere continue to push for ID checks and monitoring online activity, shows that the aim isn't what they say it is.

Going against the parents is impopular and would make the parents vote against you in the next elections.

Don't forget trying to kill e2e encryption like what the EU wants to do, both to "catch criminals" and "protect the children"
The end of encryption as we know it?
As the EU pushes for new laws to fight child abuse and crime online, critics warn that weakening app end-to-end encryption could open the door to mass...

Even if your not in the UK you should go back to piracy. Steal from corporations as frequently as possible

That's just the pretext they give to justify it. The real reason is surveillance. Now they have a way to confidently tie your accounts to your individual identity. And most of these solutions use third parties which will then sell that data as well, so now anyone can tie your account to you without you ever knowing.
Even if the government is barred from surveilling citizens in these ways, third parties aren't, and the government can just buy that information, no warrant needed anymore.
And these laws never stop at porn, it's drugs, LGBTQ information, etc. and they can always easily add additional things later with little fanfare.

It’s not about kids and never has been, it’s about surveillance of the internet and the death of anonymity.

This is it. Theyve been going after encrypted messaging apps for a long time, ig they realized theyre not getting anywhere and figured to just hit it head on.
The internet has always circumvented this kind of shit, just look at TPB. The ones who are getting really beaten up by this is the older generations and the ones lacking technical know-how.

If something's finally going to force the industry to curb its bullshit, this might just be it. Once you annoy normal people, it's all over. They seriously underestimate how many people would just stop using Spotify, or Youtube, or whatever other platform it is
