    So the implication is that keeping the masses in check is the primary goal and protecting the children was the incidental part?

      We do this to find criminals, drugsdealers, paedophiles and terrorists. MEPS are never part of any of those groups.

        Just remember “terrorism” is a generic term these days. Russia invaded Ukraine over “terrorism.”

        It wouldn’t shock me if they started carefully monitoring political views to detect anything the state doesn’t like.

      Protecting children has never been an intention or an outcome with these laws.
