Yet whenever the parents have asked for help (such as the .xxx domain which could be easily filtered at the ISP level) they're told "there's nothing we can do". And they're left subscribing to some sort of filtering service which is easily worked around by changing some settings on your computer.
Meanwhile if I want to buy Jared Taylor's book from AmRen, I have to print out an order form and mail them cash, because all the payment processors have blacklisted them
Not to mention google having spent so much effort preventing users from seeing "disinformation" they've made their search engine entirely useless.
And now people have picked up on the fact that the industry could have done something but didn't want to, because they got an up-close look at the power the tech industry can wield when it comes to, say, that popular vaccination Facebook group they used to follow before it was banned.
So now they will make the companies do something. And yes it'll be sub-optimal because they chose to not do a more optimal thing.

If you want to get conspiratorial, they probably refused to provide better tools to fix the issue exactly so they could propose some bullshit like this. Again, this is the government getting their foot in the door in an extremely dangerous way.
Also, I don't get why some people suddenly trust the government. This is the same government that, among other things, works with the ADL and similar groups that "advise" big tech. This is the same government that sends agents to "advise" big tech itself.
This is putting the same censorious pieces of shit we've been getting attacked by for years in charge of what information we can access. No thanks.
I don't trust the government: I'm saying this is a natural consequence of 20+ years of being told "there's nothing we can do" while seeing that in fact there is something that can be done when the industry wants to do it.
As evidenced by the entire tech industry colluding to suppress "disinformation" post-2016.
This is a recurring pattern that comes up over and over and over in society and politics: when there is a problem that "reasonable" people say is unsolvable, the problem doesn't go away. What happens is that it will fall to "unreasonable" people to fix it, and you won't like how they fix it.
That was why Trump was elected. That was why Brexit happened. It'll be the story of the guy who actually does what people feared Trump would do if and when he rises to power. And it is why states are banning porn.
Thus it falls on the "reasonable" people to actually solve problems before they reach the point where only the "unreasonable" people are offering solutions.
You don't have to like it, but you should understand it.
