They are not designed to protect kids. There is always campaign designed to elicit fear and contempt and then they take controlling laws.

Talking about it as if safety was a goal instead of control is just falling into their lie.

It's never about the kids protection/rights. Kids don't vote, parents do. Nearly every proposed law marketed as protecting kids is actually about increasing parent or state control over kids.
It's always important to remember that the tools that enable freedom, like voting, can be used against freedom, if enough of the population does not value it.
