“There are effective ways to protect children online without hard-coding surveillance into everyone’s device or strong arming everyone to verify their age. The focus should be on educational methods, specialised policing of sextortion and child abuse offences, and a targeted application of this technology as part of parental control packages or on devices marketed and sold as devices for children. An opt-in mechanism for parents and people who choose to use this technology is a more proportionate response, one that doesn’t ransom privacy for free expression on a population scale. Adult devices should not be treated as child devices by default.”
