          Truth is our Politician’s are so out of touch with the time.

          Chat control for one allows governments to read all chats, but at the same time reading and opening physical mail is still considered illegal.

          Same with age verification some of these politicians thing it would work like going to the amusement park and getting your height checked to ride the rollercoaster.
