Protect from what? I mean seriously. Most of us (guys at least) probably saw porn way before we were old enough and most of us probably didn’t end up as rapists or pedophiles. It’s not a good thing by any means, but it really feels like we’re trying harder to keep sexual material from entering their brains than we are trying to keep them fed, clothed, educated, housed, healthy, loved, and physically safe. Of all the things I mentioned the last seven have a monumentally greater affect on their success and well-being as an adult.
“Protecting children” is just the pretext under which governments can sell increased surveillance. The fact that there are more effective ways they could act to protect children, yet governments continue to push for ID checks and monitoring online activity, shows that the aim isn’t what they say it is.

I’m convinced sex is used as a leveraging tool to control society.

Don’t forget trying to kill e2e encryption like what the EU wants to do, both to “catch criminals” and “protect the children”
