Basically, Expat-like licenses do not use the copyleft system: When you distribute a project that’s copyleft licensed, you must give the exact same rights you were given (including the source code, license terms, etc). To resume this in 1 quote “the rights of one ends where the rights of the other begin”

I actually agree with you, especially in the last sentence. Knowing the Cambridge Analytica Scandal, governments are definitely willing to manipulate children through control of information.

Prohibition never works; people will always find other bad — maybe even worse — things to do. The human pressure to have social interactions may lead to creating terrible IRL friendships, ones that can be much more dangerous.
