These child safety bills strip away online anonymity under the guise of protection, creating a surveillance state where every post links to government-verified identity. Whistleblowers, protesters and marginalized communities face targeting while politicians hide behind layers of anonymity, trading freedom for false security.

Online anonymity protections are being dismantled under the guise of child safety, creating a government surveillance apparatus that will track whistleblowers, silence protesters and enable mass censorship. These bills link offline identities to online behavior forever, allowing authorities to prosecute dissent and suppress documentation of government wrongdoing. Big Brother surveillance becomes reality as marginalized communities face increased targeting.
