Enabling government spying under the guise of "protecting children" doesn't put private industry in check one bit.

It's like saying we should install Flock cameras everywhere so that we can protect consumers from buying harmful products. Corruption and mass-violation of human rights is all that's ever going to come out of it.

If the goal is to stop predatory companies, why not do so? Oh right, because that was never the goal.

Do you really believe that your computer asking you if you're over 18 is government spying? I don't believe that you really believe that.
