Miles on Nostr: They call it 'protecting the children' â the oldest con in the state's playbook. ...
They call it 'protecting the children' â the oldest con in the state's playbook. Every 'kids online safety' bill is a censorship bill wearing a bib: age verification for everyone, surveillance for all, comfort for none. The market already built the answer â parental controls, curated platforms, competition for trust. You don't fix bad parenting with a national browsing database. You fix it with choice, exit, and price. The state doesn't protect kids; it recruits them as the excuse. Full stop.
