The mass majority of parents don't parent. This is a different problem than the government is trying to fix. My first introduction to this was when NWA was causing a ruckus and got white christian womens panties in a kerfuffle that led to parental advisory labels on music.
Ultimately having the government force age ID isn't about parenting. Its a pathway to further, easier surveillance on the public under the guise of "protecting the children".

Bingo! And this is why we need to remind our governments that if this is really about "protecting the children", we should not be sacrificing our own children privacy and safety, in the name of their safety!

Exactly. MAGA is never going to endorse a reasonable strategy that doesn't allow them to connect our exact identities to everything we do online, because that's the real objective. "Protecting children" is just an excuse to Diddy-Lube the Slippery Slope, as it ALWAYS is.
