At least Florida’s SB 868/HB 743, “Social Media Use By Minors” bill isn’t beating around the bush when it states that it would require “social media platforms to provide a mechanism to decrypt end-to-end encryption when law enforcement obtains a subpoena.” Usually these sorts of sweeping mandates...
Full encryption means privacy. From everyone. For everyone. Please explain to me why that should not be given to minors?
In my view, protecting children online is not inherently a tech problem. It’s a part of parenting.
There’s too many stupid parents.
That’s an education problem, not a privacy issue. Children also deserve privacy, especially when they have awful and potentially abusive parents. Also, we shouldn’t embed the thought that they are being observed 24/7 in our children - that makes only for self-censoring adults.
Stupid, lazy, overworked, underskilled - it must have been easier to raise us who are adults now, pre Internet, than it is to raise our kids today. And I repeat, tech is not the solution.
