I was reading about the "new wave of child protection laws" and suddenly the reason this issue has been nagging at me came into sharp focus.

The religious right? The people who normally get worked up about online safety are NOT the ones pushing for these laws.

And isn't that odd?

Why are we seeing a near global wave of "online safety" laws, but nobody is lobbying for it?

Or rather? Why don't I know who is lobbying for this? Why are they invisible?
