Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

Microsoft and Apple operating systems do already spy on you, and things like keyloggers exist. I'd also be amazed if they weren't doing it already in certain cases.

In regards to your original post, kids will just get round it like they do in Australia.
They're hardly going to say 'this is the wildly unpopular digital id by the back door' in press releases are they? That's why they're framing it as for the kids so anyone who critises can just be met with 'oh so you want kids to die in tik tok challenges'

All the knobs online also exist in the real world but we don't ban kids from going outside.

All this will do is force kids to less regulated areas of the Internet. YouTube is an incredible source of knowledge. If kids end up on some shady equivalent that is not a positive. If my child was looking at porn I'd rather him do it on pornhub which is about as safe as porn sites get, than stumbling onto x1bangchicksxxx.ru or something
