Taylor Lorenz had a great interview with Eric Goldman on Power User about specifically why this literally accomplishes anything but protecting kids. It's just cramming a surveillance state into Web 2.0 platforms, and will likely have worse outcomes on kids overall.
It's literally the point. How is it my job to protect other people's kids? We should all live in cages, that would be efficient. Their solution is not working at all.
That is unless their sole and true objective is to have us all live in cages? Because that's exactly where this is going.
