I feel that parental responsibility and carefully crafted regulation can coexist to protect children. Device makers can also make it easier to access such settings or a “kids mode”.
I think most parents know techbros have created an internet that is generally not safe for children and do their best to take measures to account for that. Any system that empowers parents to do that is welcome.
All it requires is knowing how to read and follow step by step instructions and the parents are in control.
In contrast all the control and surveillance systems being introduced as child protection will end up being used outside their first promised scope.
While “First they came for the porn” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came) sounds silly, if they can ban or control access to sites on a device level then what will they ban next?
Quite many right wing political groups would eye the lgbtq+ movement and they’d probably introduce that as “for the kids” too.
I have heard this argument from the fascist where I have to go now. I have nothing against gays, I just think it shouldn’t be done infront of children, whatever the fuck that means. These people are extremely dangerous and giving them more surveillance power is not what the EU needs to do right now.

I feel like it’s hard to make it easier then they’ve already made it:

That’s the next step. They want to label Trans existence as basically pornographic and targeting the children.
