The fact that this being justified with the pretense of being "for the children" seems like such a transparent way to play on people's emotions.
From the start of the proposal itself:
"At least one in five children falls victim to sexual violence during childhood 3 . A 2021 global study found that more than one in three respondents had been asked to do something sexually explicit online during their childhood, and over half had experienced a form of child sexual abuse online"
I am (obviously) against child sexual abuse. I can also say, with very high certainty, that those numbers are being blown completely out-of-proportion, with the widest definition possible used.
To justify such a wide-reaching proposal behind this thin veneer of justification is absolutely nuts to me.
- Llamamoe 4y agoAlmost all child abuse is perpetuated by people the child knows in person. The fact that there's a fuckton of creeps online has very little to do with it.
