    By their own logic doesn’t exempting themselves mean they want to abuse children?

      Ok listen. That is the way governments want you to think in order to get away with erasing your right to privacy. It’s the old “I have nothing to hide” argument.

      But here’s the thing. You have a butthole. I have a butthole. Everyone in the planet has a butthole. Having a butthole is nothing to be ashamed of, it is not a crime to have a butthole. No one will prosecute you for having a butthole. But that doesn’t mean it is ok for the government to see everyone’s butthole. That’s your right to privacy.

      If you want to protect children, you turn to social scientists to understand the problems and identify the ways in which to catch and prosecute offenders. Weaponizing surveillance on everyone in order to catch a very tiny percentage of population who might be committing a crime is hurting everyone.

      Privacy is not about empowering pedos, it is about protecting everyone’s rights. Erode one right and you erode all rights. Once the system is in place, then political surveillance to destroy democracy and install fascism is what follows.

      Ironically, the global fascism is currently run by pedophiles.

      No. They want to protect themselves from… Their own security forces.

      Yeah, checks out. Our little parlamentarians are all big pedos (at least the ones pushing for this shit).

        Exactly, protection only applies to the elites. Children had nothing to do with this law, and yet they are being used as a weapon of mass deceiving.

        If the government had some dignity, they wouldn’t use age as a weapon against the society - but alas, a oppressive government has to start from somewhere.
