There’s a study doing the rounds this week claiming that six out of ten Europeans support Chat Control 2.0 because they believe it will improve online safety. My first reaction, honestly, was a hollow laugh into my batch brew. Six out of ten. Right.

Now, I’m not going to sit here and call everyone who supports this proposal an idiot — that’s lazy thinking and it doesn’t help anyone. But I do think a lot of those six out of ten would have a very different opinion if the survey question wasn’t framed as something like “do you want children to be safe online?” Because of course you do. Everyone does. That’s not even a real question.
