It's nothing to do with stopping pedos. The people pushing this year-in and year-out don't care THAT much about pedos. It's not a cause that's motivating enough for them to be putting in so much effort, trying to sneak in legislation after being repeatedly rebuffed.

The real people pushing this are lobbyists working for the companies that sell the monitoring software.

And for anyone wondering btw, this is actually a proven fact and not just a guess.

This article in german talks about the connections that the people pushing this have to the relevant tech industry companies.

Oh wow I didn’t know. Fuck Ashton Kutcher!

Its insane to me how it was entirely proven that this whole political movement is a giant fear mongering psyop and despite that its still being discussed at all.

It's rather "tell me who's your friend and I'll tell you who you are", most of specific people involved in pushing this have a history with authoritarian regimes, some genocidal.

Many things may change overnight.

It’s not a cause that’s motivating enough for them to be putting in so much effort, trying to sneak in legislation after being repeatedly rebuffed.

Until those trying are in jail explaining their motivations in detail, this won't stop.
