Sex is a scapegoat for implementing surveillance and discrimination systems. The same as every “think of the children” law ever passed.
It’s not about the children, it’s about making it impossible for opponents to justify in the 10 second sound bite that the media allows with no further context whatsoever. And that’s all of the media that 90% of people consume.
Agree, and it’s a way for governments to look like they’re doing something while continuing to not do anything. Wanna stop non-consensual sex with minors? Release the Epstein files and prosecute the offenders to the full extent of the law. Don’t wanna stop non-consensual sex with minors? Do this. All the privacy and free speech violations are just “collateral damage” and “externalities” inflicted on people who don’t really matter… the 99%.
Why is the government obsessed with scanning people’s privates?

It is not the goal just a step to the end goal.
