There is a (conspiracy) theory that Meta lobbies this shit in order to avoid having to verify the users' age and not being culpable in case a minor uses their service.
I buy that. It fits with literally all of Meta's previous behavior and lobbying efforts.
It really doesn't. This is more willing the lines of papintir, or other nsa adjacent companies.
i think its THIEL's palinitir, mostly because its already being used LEO and through flock as well.
