The sponsors of these bills truly have no shame, using children as pawns and the moral panic about drugs to encroach on our privacy.
I guarantee the legislators who support these bills also oppose legislation that could actually help children.
Children are one of their two go-to reasons for encroaching on civil liberties. If "won't somebody please think of the children?" doesn't work then they wrap it up in "terrorism ™️" and ram it through.
Umm, this bill harms children.
