Government Crackdown Claims Don't Add Up

Authorities claim stricter platform controls are about protecting minors. But the data tells a different story.

Snapchat accounts for nearly 50% of reported grooming incidents. Compare that to WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram—all showing significantly higher risk profiles. Yet the regulatory focus keeps landing on one platform.

When numbers contradict the official narrative, it raises hard questions: Is child safety really the priority, or are there other pressures at play? How do we balance protection with preserving open discourse? And why do platforms face vastly different levels of scrutiny despite some carrying much greater documented risks?

These inconsistencies matter for how platforms evolve and what freedoms we preserve online.
