I'm having a hard time understanding how this is going to keep kids safe.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 48 points 3 days ago

That's because it is never about the children.

The same way the next laws will keep kids safe. When you leave your front door, you will have to drop your pants so the TSA can check your asshole. It's necessary. You know. To keep kids safe.

Assprints are as unique as irises or fingerprints, and are bigger.

This is about protecting the entrenched players in the OS games; Microsoft, Google and Apple. The likely end play for all this is the erosion of personal computing so they can rent (and therefore control) all the compute available to you, so you don’t get uppity and think of running your own AI, which they believe will be as integral to everyday life as the internet is today.

Safe? Never. But it will help the pedophiles find more children online. Sickos!

It helps the rich oligarchs track their child harem and broodmares and make sure nobody is infringing on their "rights" to treat people as property.

I don't even understand safe from what? Seeing titties? That is not bad and needs to be part of any growing up human, we've been all thru this, and we clearly see what happens to people who don't/were banned from normal childhood. All sorts of freaks.

Why would corporate billionaires and pedophile politicians want to keep kids safe? This has nothing to do with that.
