A remark as staggeringly strange as it is common.

Yes, the police and social services has compiled written information that they want to share with parents of at-risk children.

This seems a strange thing to ridicule.

We'll see next year how this strategy failed I guess.

Ah I heard today in the (swedish) news that they were advising parents to check which apps the kids are using.

The main issue being "an encrypted messenger". So whatsapp=gang… unclear if telegram is ok since it's normally not e2ee.

I am skeptical this will achieve anything useful.
