This is a manipulation tactic not an argument. Almost nobody wants to prevent spying on kids. Main goal is to prevent harmful content like porn, gore and gambling.

Those digital surveillance rules passed in Brazil under the Digital Statute for Children and Adolescents law.

Protection of kids is definitely the most common arguments for them.

Protecting kids does not equal protecting kids from spying, which is what the article is arguing against.

Sorry but this isn't a strong argument at all. Nobody who thinks age verification laws are a good idea will be remotely persuaded by any of this.
