And so they double down… These regulations won’t stop until the open internet has been reduced to toddler content only, and all users, regardless of age, being required to compromise on their psuedonymity; in order to get some use out of it.

I mean, yeah, it was never designed to protect children. It’s designed to increase the ease of surveillance of adults. Otherwise, the corporations would have been fighting against it. They don’t make profit from protecting children, but they do from the excuse to get truly unique identifiers for people so they can track them and integrate and/or sell the more detailed data for each user.
