The article says congress should pass a privacy bill to protect kids.
But it's never about the kids. It's always about surviellance and tracking people. For corporations it allows better monetization while for the government it allows better control.
- nobody9999 2mo ago>The article says congress should pass a privacy bill to protect kids. No. The article says: Protect Privacy For *Everyone* There is a better way to protect young people online. Instead of encouraging a complicated system of age checks, more monitoring, and more restrictions on access to information, Congress could finally pass a strong, comprehensive privacy law[0] that benefits all users. A great place to start would be to ban behavioral advertising that tracks us across the web—again, for users of all ages. I'm trying to read your comment in the most charitable way, but it doesn't reflect the article's verbiage or the EFF's position. The best I can come up with is that you badly misunderstood the article and/or the proposed privacy legislation for everyone linked in said article. Or am I missing something? Do tell. [0] They even helpfully link to the privacy law they advocate here[1].
