If you think an extra layer of universal surveillance will somehow prevent children from being harmed, I have bad news for you. It won't. Plenty of them will get online anyway, and go to even sketchier sites than ever.

    Reread my second sentence.

    We are both in the privacy community: I don't want ANYONE knowing how kids utilize the internet, or should anyones’. These mandatory biometric laws need to be destroyed completely.

    Maybe I misunderstand your point, then, especially if it was sarcastic... I didn't downvote you so maybe I'm not the only one.

    I also don't get the biometrics thing. They aren't a great way of locking down your device, they're just better than nothing as a very basic theft deterrent when used locally.

    I am attacking that bullshit headline theguardian allowed, and the thesis of the article. As private-conscious members of this community we need to physically remove these biometric laws by force, and destroy social media whose entire business models depend on violating privacy: We need to be against both, in order to maintain internet privacy.
