Why not? It’s exactly the same. You store creds on your computer, then they take them. The info has to be stored somewhere, and a windows update can take it. The point is that they have proved in the recent past to take user’s private information to give to the government. If they can do it with bitlocker, they can do it with stored info.
But regardless of all of that, it shouldn’t be mandatory anyway. It’s never been about children, it’s always about collecting data. If they are so hard on child safety, then give an optional tool to adults, and let them parent their children. Anything else is an overreach.
Even if this is all fear mongering, it’s still a dumb idea that has no place in personal electronics.
That’s a false equivalency. There’s no identity tied to those numbers on a computer.
Anything software that I don’t want on my install is a problem. Anything that ties my identity to my computer is potential for mass surveillance. They should just stay the fuck off our shit. Their proposed solutions won’t protect anyone. Quit simping for the government, they don’t have anyone’s best interest in mind. Parent your children or just deal with the fact they may see some tits online.
I’m done arguing with you because you argue in bad faith for a cause that’s bullshit. Either you don’t know wtf you’re talking about, or you support this bullshit. Either way, I’m done.

So anything that isn’t a stateless install is proof of mass surveillance?
Why stop there, do you file off the serial numbers of all your chips so that in the future an application couldn’t possibly upload them?

Do you use a username on your computer? Or login as anon every time.
It has a hostname, you can’t get around that or do you exclusively use liveCDs?
I just don’t understand your irrationality around your computer storing an UNVERIFIED date of birth for your account.
TBF it must be exhausting make up stuff to be mad at all day.
