@romli@social.vivaldi.net @ahltorp@mastodon.nu @markwyner@mas.to That's not what it's akin to at all.
The rise of Trump in the USA and Reform in the UK shows that policy isn't driven by informed consent but by paranoia, bigotry and disinformation where there's simple answers to complex problems, of which "think of the children" is just one flavour.
But it's apparent from your other posts that you don't actual have an argument here, or are just arguing for the sake of arguing, so I can't be bothered pointing out the flaws in your latest scenario and what an ACTUAL real-life equivalent would be like.

@ibboard@hachyderm.io @ahltorp@mastodon.nu @markwyner@mas.to OK you clearly have a chip on your shoulder about something mate. If you think policy is driven by paranoia, bigotry and disinformation good for you but when it's passed it's still law. You're making pointless arguments and no-one is listening to you other than me so Ill stop that now. I didn't write the EUKidsAct, I am not implementing it. I happen to agree with it and can see value in it. If you don't and think you are right and everyone else is wrong go argue with them.
