Well most people who work in tech and who are technical that I know personally, are, to my surprise, in favour of it. I just asked them after reading comments here. But they, like many, did not inform themselves; they just ‘want more protection for children’.


Perhaps there is a regional difference, but I don't know a single developer that is in favor of it. I don't see how anyone with technical knowledge could come to a positive conclusion here if they look at error rates and problems to privacy.

There were also public hearings with technical experts about feasibility that were said to be a huge embarrassment for people proposing the bill as the rejection was so clear. I think from nine experts, zero accepted the proposal and made pretty clear, that this is to be rejected with prejudice.

The only ones in tech that I know of at least are those that want to sell their own AI solutions. As I said, there was quite a bit of lobbying.
