He can go fuck himself. "Dems are the good guys!!!" Fuck off. This isnt about protecting kids. Its about tracking, profiling and data collection. No doubt to sell to 3rd parties. Fuck all these cunts who push this shit.

This is so much more effectively evil than ehat the trump admin has been doing holy shit.

This might genuinely be world leading evil.
