    Consent, for one thing.

    There’s a HUGE difference between me posting stuff of myself and someone else posting stuff of me without asking me.

    But also, the restrictions aren’t about the kids. They were never about the kids. “Think of the children!” has always been a convenient excuse to make people shut off their brains and agree with whatever surveillance/control thing they’re pushing.
