It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein now urging worldwide restrictions on E2E / VPN & promoting age, biometric, and identity verification online - all in the name of protecting children.

It’s also highly suspicious that so many of the world’s biggest countries are trying to implement this wider internet control at the same time.

Feels like a major push toward authoritarianism to me.

It's messed up how the people always have to fight to wrest any rights from those in power, and then fight even harder to keep them!

Yes, but we shouldn't have to mention Epstein in order to make our point. That just makes our side look dumber. Epstein died in 2019 and none of this has anything to do with him at all.

We should be opposing it because we want a free society based on individual rights in which people are allowed to speak, communicate, associate with anyone they want about anything they want.

a social class of legally unreproachable pedophiles being the ones invoking "protect children" to violate our rights seems pretty relevant to me.

I don't give a crap about hypocrisy but people have got to wise up to this manipulation tactic

While I agree with your 2nd point, I do think it's important to point out the hypocrisy of the elites.
