No shit. I don't understand how anyone falls for this.
Also them using stuff like 'online safety' and 'child safety' in their legal titles needs to be used against them. Remember: Right-wing people NEVER use the words you want them to use, they always use their own. When copyright laws in the 90s were being reformed, many copyright/entertainment lawyers derided the laws by referring to them as the 'Mickey Mouse copyright act' because of Disney's massive hand in how they were written and how they disproportionately benefited them.
Call it for what it is. Call it the survellience act, call it the child endangerment act, call it the transgender discrimination act. Don't fucking fall for their 'oh so you want anyone to groom children online' talk through them, not to them. That is what they do to us anyway.
