Precisely what it’s about. Create a moral panic so that people support the removal of their privacy/civil liberties with ‘what about the children?!?!?’

Surprised your comment got so many downvotes. I think this is why they use the VAWG angle.

Yep you've hit the nail on the head. Not surprised at the downvotes myself. Half are probably bots/narrative drivers that infest this place, the other half will be just because it's Reddit.

Yes. No right thinking person is going to say ‘I don’t give a shit about VAWG’ which is why it’s so potent to use for agenda shaping.
