    I feel the worst outcome of this will be mandated age verification on every website. I really hope the EFF is ready to fight like hell.

      It‘s very depressing how everyone keeps shifting the blame instead of doing something. Even law makers abuse the topic of child safety to end internet privacy.

    The problem with smart people is that they seem to think everyone else is too dumb to catch them doing stupid shit.

    How about making companies stop pre-loading this shitty meta bloatware on every piece of hardware in circulation?

    There is absolutely no reason I should have this shit stuck on my phone and default loaded onto windows. Hot garbage.
