Normies are flocking to government to crack down on this stuff because the government is already enforcing unprecedented levels of influence in their daily lives.
Don't believe me? Object to groomers grooming your kids or demanding that your son Timmy is now Tammy and see what happens.
They don't realize that this sort of power always goes one way for some reason. They expect fair and equitable treatment under the law. Will they ever come to grips with the new reality? Dunno. It'll probably be nasty if they ever do.
The cost of your anonymity is too high a price. Digital ID will not prevent the corruption of children by leftists and globalists, but it will be used to prevent you from speaking out against it.
Saying something is not a solution does not mean the government doing anything is a solution.
That reasoning is exactly how we get all these government measures.
I agree that parents aren't doing their job, but that doesn't give governments the right to step in. People are imperfect, many are retarded. And plenty of those retards are in government. Giving retards power over me just because someone else is being a retard is not the answer.
Laws generally hit the people who don't need them hardest anyway. Yeah, sure, fuck all of us over because parents are stupid...and will continue to be stupid after this law passes.
You really think the people that are currently letting their children have unrestricted access won't also be the parents who will sign off on letting their kids have unrestricted access after this?
This solves nothing, and gives the government more control over the flow of information, which is exactly what they want.

It's that simple. Letting the government do something just because something needs to be done makes things worse, not better. This isn't a solution, so it's a moot point.
Somebody has to figure out a way to get kids off the internet.
You mean, like simply not giving them a smartphone? By simply controlling what your kids are doing, just like how humanity has done it for thousands of years, until the last 20 years or so when parents started to rely on technology to do the "parenting"?
Ding Ding Ding! Maybe don't give your 11 year old a smartphone. And no, just cuz Beck from the other class has one doesn't mean YOU should get one. It's one of the most dangerous things aside for a gun or drugs that you can give a kid and just ignore. I started on the net at 15 and the next was a totally different place back then. Now I wouldn't without subervision give a kid a phone at that age.
You say this like this isn't the case already.

That may be true, but parental responsibility is not a solution. It's just not. Somebody has to figure out a way to get kids off the internet.

Fine, then what is?
Pressure the ISPs?
Neighborhood watch to slap phones out of hands?
I'm just going to quote myself here:

Working for hours to download and reassemble a few uuencoded low resolution images from Usenet forums was a learning experience, at least.
I would love it if I could choose to not allow other people's kids to have smartphones. I really would. Sounds beautifully simple.
Some people might be bad parents, but the government is an even worse parent.
