As a parent, I'm always worried about any policy with "protect the children" as the main argument. There are lots of stupid policies proposed and sometimes implemented that are justified this way, such as:

  • facial recognition to prevent underage kids from playing certain video games
  • proof of ID to access social media and porn
  • complicated parental controls on devices and services

And so on.

Most of these have easy ways to circumvent these rules and absolutely violate privacy, so I will be teaching my kids how to do that. In fact, once our home Internet gets fast enough, I may route all traffic through a VPN just to avoid most of these stupid rules and instead rely on trust with my kids to keep them safe on the Internet.
