Governments the world over I trying to push online surveillance programs as child protection initiatives.

Even if it was being viewed as genuine attempts to protect children from harmful online content, it's still shifts the burden onto the public.

AI stands to pause a very serious threat to children.... Both in allowing them to form very strange and nonsensical perceptions on the world. As well as robbing them of a chance to develop their own critical thinking. (Which I'm sure tech bros and really happy with)..

Get these super massive corporations aren't expected to do anything to protect children.

I don't see anything in that report that shouldn't be applied to adults either. Google shouldn't be providing curated instructions for creating deepfakes for anybody.
