I don't think this proposal is quite enough, we can do better to protect the children. The homes of the people who champion this proposal should be thoroughly searched for child abuse materials every week. Naturally, their personal electronic devices should be taken for analysis. I understand this may cause them some inconvenience, but think of the children!

Sorry, privacy from government surveillance applies only to our elected officials, not to you and me. /s

  When we get spied it's for our own good and when they get spied it's an issue of national security. Because they make the nation and we're just resources they monitor.

  No need for the /s tag, that’s exactly how it works in a lot of places. Here in the UK, the so-called “Snooper’s Charter” that was passed in 2016 allows bulk data collection and warrantless access to that data…unless you’re a member of parliament.

  Good thing that most of the EU government is unelected.

Let's not forget banning curtains. Only clean, transparent windows should be allowed.

  Are you sure that's enough? Maybe homes should be built out of fully transparent materials. Don't want any internal rooms to hide in.

    Not sure about that. You can't keep toddlers and children clothed all the time. The basement seems like an adequate place for a wardrobe/diaper change, even though that makes the whole situation even weirder.

Given the cost of child birth in the developed world it would be quite economical to send each child home from the hospital with a government video monitor which must be kept in the room with them, to enable random (and ML) surveillance, just to make sure they're not getting molested, you know.

  This is a good idea. To be safe against AI misfires, a government agent could be assigned to watch each child 24x7 wherever they are, whatever they are doing: sleeping, eating, bathing, using the restroom, etc. That way there is no chance of missing any possibility they are abused.

It was interesting to see how many high ranking politicians seemed close friends to a mr. Epstein.
