The other day I was talking to a fairly tech-savvy and generally well informed friend. He also has proper knowledge of the functioning of the EU and little trust for its current set of leaders.
He was incredibly fierce in his (rightful!) opposition to chat control.
So I was a bit surprised when he considered the EU Kids Act a good thing. Only after I informed him about its true content and provided some sources could he recognise how nefarious it actually is and how our leaders are trying to hoodwink us.
This is what we're up against. You need more than casual knowledge to understand that a) this law does none of the good it claims and does b) a whole lot of the bad it seeks to hide.
