Like most things, you are not as private and protected as you seem to think you are.
That doesn’t seem like a great argument for doing something that further reduces privacy and protection.

The point is that, without third party verification (which I am vehemently opposed to), it changes absolutely nothing. So it is just people whining about “freedoms” they don’t even have.
And… there actually are arguments that it is good to tear down the security/privacy theatre so that people can make informed decisions and understand their actual exposure and risks.
A good example of this is that I am REALLY happy that we, as a society, have seen a drastic shift between calling things “Private Messages” and instead calling them “Direct Messages”. The former implies that only you and the recipient can see them. The latter does away with that and people rapidly learn (and communicate) that site owners and often mods can see everything you send along those venues.

Semantics
Privacy is a human right and I have a choice to who an d which third party collects my data. My own computer with software I build myself doesn’t need mandated age gates.

Only if you actually understand what information you are and aren’t exposing about yourself in your every day activities.
Which… yeah, does really feel like understanding the meaning of a text/concept. So… spot on?

Amazing what you can do to protect yourself
Like one, don’t give your information to the machine
