The biggest lobby pushing this is companies like Thorn, who promise to provide (I.e. sell) the technology required to comply with such a law. It’s literally just a business investment for them.

Korkki@lemmy.ml 5 days agoTake note that there are lobbies pushing for these. Security state, police and religious fanatics wanting morality policing, also politicians who re afraid of popular upheaval.

Yeah, and, unsurprisingly, the actual experts on child abuse and privacy are mostly against this.

Maybe if politicians did what the people wanted, they wouldn’t have to be afraid of an uprising against them… and if religious cunts would just stay in their churches and mind their own business…

I’m a religious cunt, a Christian cunt if you want to be specific, and this bullshit about controlling the population is NOT part of my faith. As a matter of fact, it goes entirely against my faith, and is extremely detrimental to every single Christian.
Having said that, this is simple. Religious people that support all this are the same so because it adheres to their end game, not because of their faith.

Religious people are counted on to support this. Not to sound like an edgy teenager but while you yourself might know better, the vast majority of people looking for a shepherd are sheep. And the vast majority of people signing up to be a shepherd just want a flock.

I cannot, as much as I would like to, argue with that. What you are saying is a very well documented fact. Most Christians are following the man/woman at the front of the congregation, not Christ, and that is the reason why they end up just blindly repeating whatever those “leaders” say like parrots.
I’m all too aware of how messed up religion is worldwide (every single one of them, no exceptions).
Additionally, regardless of your age, belief, race, sexual orientation, political inclination or choice of t-shirt, never apologize for voicing your thoughts. In most of the congregations I’ve been in, I’m considered the “stumbling stone” because I have no problem calling out a pastor when they are trying to use bible verses to make everyone see things the way they want them to. I’m not saying they all do it with I’ll intent, but intention is irrelevant.
Young people like you are the ones that will help make this world better by exercising they critical thinking and freedom of speech.

Nonsense it’s the entire purpose of religion, it is a system of control

Sure, that is your reality,and I respect that you are sure that’s the case (and in many cases it is), but I happen to believe that there are shades of gray from the whitest white to the darkest black. So you do you, I’ll follow my own reality.
I think we can easily be in agreement that following a man or woman because of religion is, not only detrimental, but also dangerous. Whatwe will certainly disagree on is that, for me, Jesus is God, and for you, believing that makes me n irrational sheep. And that’s cool, I don’t think that should be a reason for one of us to hate the other, or even simply be angry (or anything similar, my English vocabulary is not too extensive).
I brought up religion because it was brought up. So, yeah, I’m not one of those that goes around pushing my believes on others, but the moment I see Jesus attacked, I will defend Him the same way He died for me on that cross.
