I like the spirit of the law, and at least according to the above article it doesn't sound like they're forcing the social media companies to do anything beyond delete an account if it is found (no mention of a digital ID check-in). time will tell if that remains the case.
I still maintain that nobody should be using the real name on the Internet. Were this still the case, I wouldn't mind kids creating anonymous accounts on kid friendly sites such as lego.com like we did in the 90s and 00s. now that it is common to use your real name on the internet, coupled with a real photo and real information about your real address and real life, I would even support banning teenagers under the age of 18 from creating social media accounts.
again, we don't need digital ID to be able to enforce this. we have the tools to classify and block certain sites at the network level, parents need to learn to use them and actually curate the content that their kids are looking at.
