People are calling on governments or Meta is calling on governments to preemptively deflect punishment onto everyone else for their own misdeeds?
replyExactly. Voice of the people if very faint, sound of lobby banknotes makes lawmakers listen.
replyPeople are also calling on parents, governments and tech companies to respect children's privacy. [1]
replyNone of these groups will because they profit too much from disrespecting their privacy. The average child would be far safer if they used the Dark Web. I'm not sure why the "richest country on earth" is engaging in zero-sum behavior, but those are the kinds of contradictions such behavior creates.

Governments can make effective laws, you know. There are tools that can solve this. Parental controls, separation of peer-to-peer communications from algorithmic feeds. The lawmakers are old, tech-illiterate people. You can tell them that a private Minecraft server is illegal and they will believe it.
replyIt's a shame that non-evil tech-literate people refused to talk to lawmakers about any of this.
