Lawmakers argue that mass surveillance will help to protect children.
yes its always initially about protecting the children. Like the UK CRB checks back in the early 2000's.
Its about protecting our children from sex offenders they said, of course people are going to agree with that, then it grew into having to have a CRB check for working at the local store because children used the store, the gardener sweeping and maintaining the gardens at the GP surgery, the Tree surgeon removing a dangerous branch in a school field, etc etc, all because children attend or go to those sites.
Then they came for the delivery drivers, the warehouse workers, supermarket staff, Airport staff etc etc. Then everyone else. Until every person has to have a CRB check (DBS) even if you dont work with or come into contact with children.
The lawmakers could in fact ban all use of internet connected devices in schools and employ real teachers to teach children. Stop schools using chromebooks and collecting data on our children.
How about parents actually taking responsibility for their own children.
Stop buying surveillance advertising devices for their children.
Do children really need to be on the internet at all.
What happened to playing. you know that wonderful tool that aids in the healthy mental and social development of our children.
- mytailorisrich 2y agoIt's because the law around DBS checks is fuzzy so we get creep over time as people try to cover their backsides just in case. There is no legal obligation to have a DBS check for any jobs but employers must take steps to safeguards employees, customers, pupils, etc. So just ask for one. The only restriction is on enhanced DBS and specific questions.
