Is it? Honestly I think it’s just astroturfed. The entire imperial core suddenly got obsessed with regulating the internet after young people started waking up to the realities of the genocide in gaza.
Parents have been complaining about this for close to a decade but it really hit a peak in the last 4 years. Now that people have floated solutions they actually have legislation to vote on. If you are seen to be shooting down legislation that “protects kids” the average parent is going to hate you.
They think moderating internet usage is hard for them to do and they think that this is a magic solution that will actually work to keep their kids off these sites. Its dumb but its the world we live in.
