But should the government be expected to protect children online? They haven't done a good job of that since day 1. The government continues to fail to protect children in a variety of ways (school shootings, suggestive selling of sex change surgery, allowing suspected terrorists into the country, lowering punishments for pedophiles, etc.) So wouldn't it be suspicious and wouldn't it be a clear lack of prioritization skills for them to suddenly care so much about something pertaining to social media exchanges? For those reasons, it seems clear to me that this is their reaction to concern about people discussing and discovering their evil plans. It's like me saying "I'm gonna clean the bottoms of my sneakers today." --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/04/30 (Windows/64) * Origin: JoesBBS.Com, Telnet:23 SSH:22 HTTP:80 (1:342/200) .
