   I wonder who exactly is paying for the ads and what their specific business interests are.

     @matthew_d_green it doesn't seem to have anything to do with adtech, the CEO of the org that is doing these ads used to work for THORN which develops and sells child exploitation scanning technology to companies. They're probably just working to establish a permanent income flow by selling legally-mandated scanning tools to corporations.

     If I was in the adtech or data brokerage industry, I’d sure love these ads. Encryption is bad! Apple is too private. Let’s pass some laws to “protect the children.”

     If there’s one thing that makes me deeply suspicious, it’s scrappy child-safety organizations suddenly having huge piles of money to spend on hyper-specific tech focused political pressure campaigns as opposed to, say, children.

     They'll never give small sites like us access to those tools, though. They always want to keep CP as a clandestine weapon in their back pocket, ready to use if alt-tech gets too uppity.
