Looks like it was never about “protect the children”
It’s probably a convoluted way to track the children for pedos. Like Lifetouch was for Epstein.
Anyone who was paying attention saw through that bullshit from the start. It's never what they say it's about. It's about lining their own pockets and solidifying their own brand of control.
My money is on the majors / ip rights holders being pushing for this. VPNs have always annoyed them a whole lot.
