  Sex is a scapegoat for implementing surveillance and discrimination systems. The same as every “think of the children” law ever passed.

    Agree, and it’s a way for governments to look like they’re doing something while continuing to not do anything. Wanna stop non-consensual sex with minors? Release the Epstein files and prosecute the offenders to the full extent of the law. Don’t wanna stop non-consensual sex with minors? Do this. All the privacy and free speech violations are just “collateral damage” and “externalities” inflicted on people who don’t really matter… the 99%.
