I just don't want to have to ID myself at every corner of the internet. Whether the site receives my details or not.

I've heard they even want to mandate periodic re-checks now which is insane. The internet should remain free.

Besides, if parents don't want to give access to social media they can just not give their kids a phone, or just use the many parental control features available on it. Every phone has this these days.

And even if the government wants to ban this stuff for all kids (which I would not agree with but ok I don't have kids so I don't really care and parents do seem to want this), they don't have to enforce it this way. They can just make the parents liable if the kids are found to have access.

To me this is just another attempt at internet censorship and control.
