Hearing about it from privacy activists and movements like stop killing games is a little devastating, the law in this shape should not pass and its horrible that it even is drafted/proposed in it's current shape.

Explain please, I am not familiar with the opinions of "privacy activists" in this matter.

And like many great minds before me said: "It's never just about kids" when people talk about kids safety, so often this is used to push unfavorable laws cuz "think about the kids!!"
