Given Ken Klippenstein's recent article about the FBI pursuing terrorism investigations against minors, I don't think this is coincidence. I think they actually want to cut teens off from viewpoints that oppose the regime.

    They also want to be able to identify everyone on the Internet for a multitude of reasons, but one of them being to make a larger list of dissidents, adults and children alike.

    Not like Snowden didn't warn us ahead of time.

    The bill is sponsored by Elise Stefanik and Josh Gottheimer, two of the more notable Zionists in Congress (and that’s saying something). If that doesn’t point to the real intention of these laws I don’t know what does.

    And younger people have a less favorable view of Israel. Zionists are definitely behind the panopticon push, but I don't think it's going to change hearts and minds. I'm not sure they care about that, though. If they can shut people up, even if they're still despised, maybe that's good enough for them.

    I’m worried this can be used to more easily target kids for propaganda. Harder to detect because it’s targeting people who don’t know… we might want to”fake kids” to audit the kind of content getting served to devices claiming as much.
