The stated reason is to protect children from porn and such. The real reason maybe (as it often is whenever they say it is about protecting children) an excuse to extend surveillance as much as possible.
Every “for the children!” law is always just about control. If they actually cared about children, these governments would pass laws or take actions that actually help. I imagine asking a kid if they feel their government does things to make them safe, they’d probably go “dafuq?” or “no.”
I am probably on the same side as you are, but I was trying to give them a somewhat measured answer to a seemingly genuine question. I try to start out appearing as a lukewarm lunatic before cranking the heat up to raving.
