I don’t have the context on the intentions of these people, but what makes you think this? Isn’t it possible they only care about protecting children and the side effects are completely dismissed, rather than it being a power grab? Just curious what evidence makes you believe it’s nefarious.

Track record? This is not the American federal government's first digital powergrab.

They don't deserve being given the benefit of the doubt.
