    As usual, here are my (extremely) unpopular opinions: 1: This ban is made to extend to smartphones for children overall, allowing some abuse situations to be carried out without risk. Furthermore, this might (later) extend to some workers, women overall, then lower “castes” and classes. 2: This is another way for Chat Control to also be implemented later, by setting the roots for such.

    Oh, another thing: using age as a metric is darn stupid — aren’t some of the worst leaders actually quite… elderly?

        It is about both. If you can control the information and communication capabilities children get, you can do whatever with them.
