Not to mention none of this will actually protect children. When I was 14 I told an adult online about my life and they helped me make it through some rougher periods until I got to 18. I know the internet is highly imperfect but I think gate keeping kids out of it will just lead to more underground abuse and abuse that they don't find was abuse until they are adults.
The people who wrote this bill want people like you to suffer
Exactly, they don't view children as people, they view them as objects and extensions of their parents/guardians.
and that's really the root of the issue, isn't it?
Yes, I remember how it went when I was a kid. Internet probably is the only reason why I'm not joining army of warmongerers or died in Ukraine.
To be fair it seems some adults need to be protected from some kids, but it is their adult problem.
