alt Hacker News"because everyone has had enough, and nobody has patience left for kids watching BDSM on their friend’s phones at 12."
Is that the reason? I really don't think so.
I just think it's a power grab by the participants in government and tech companies.

When people are operating at two levels, you can't leave either unaddressed.
That plays into the hands of those using subterfuge.
The power grab is riding on reasonable concerns about children. So its worth improving safety for children for two reasons: (1) reducing parents reasonable concerns and making parenting in the modern age a bit easier, and to (2) take that issue off the table (or meaningfully reduce the leverage it supplies), for the power grabbers.
Ironically, the fact that the underhanded motives lie beneath a reasonable concern, makes solving the reasonable concern in a healthy way even more critical.
