This was rolled into a directive concerning CSAM. Because adults accessing porn need to be de-anonymised to avoid child exploitation?

No chance we could just... you know... tell the parents to start parenting for once? Like... idk... using the fucking parental controls in the devices they give their children and checking every once in a while what are they doing online?

    "Those" parents: "The State can not tell me how to raise my child!"

    Two weeks later when the State has not told them how to raise their children:

    "Waaah waaah! Raising kids too hard! The State should do it for me!"
