They really think we’re all idiots & the state is our babysitter Yes it’s real, not AI. She’s Australia’s eSafety commissioner. https://blossom.primal.net/d26256d3ed43bd5359c4f7c2452fadcdde17...

The irony is obvious:
What’s sold as “safety” for younger users has far less to do with protection and far more to do with conditioning.

This is about shaping acceptable language.
Reinforcing approved narratives.
And training people—early—to outsource judgment to authority.

That isn’t safety. That’s indoctrination.

The architects of centralized moderation don’t trust citizens to think, choose, or disagree.
They believe control of speech is control of minds—and history shows they’re right to believe that.

That’s exactly why the founders of the United States enshrined freedom of speech:
not because speech is harmless,
but because power cannot be trusted to decide truth.

Decentralized systems matter because they remove the babysitter.
They force responsibility back onto individuals—where it belongs.

Free speech was never meant to be safe.
It was meant to be free from governors of thought.
