You're assuming that they're being honest in wanting to protect children. They don't care about protecting a single citizen, regardless of age. All they care about is whether or not they can use a demographic to further push totalitarian control. Because that's what it's about. It's about control. Even if we're being nice about it, I don't even think it's explicitly malicious. I do think that many of these people have non-nefarious goals. But none of that matters because it will never work in a way that doesn't explicitly punish and criminalise the innocent.
Fuck anyone that defends this kind of shit. And anyone that does defend this shit should be the first in line to put their personal details out there for everyone to see while they stand by their words.

Odds are they already do this, though not out of principle.
The sad thing is that they often don't, and they balk at the idea that they should have to expose themselves while demanding everyone else be exposed. You're mostly right for surface level normies that use things like Facebook and shit like that, but even that is going down and more people are opting for pseudonyms like everyone else on the internet (as they should).
All government powers should be looked at as monkey's paw wishes. Read the law and try to come up with as malicious an interpretation or use case as possible - you can almost guarantee that it will be used that way eventually.

Oh I KNOW THAT but I'm sick and tired of them getting away with censorship to authoritarian power grabs like this because 'think of the children!'
Anyone who still falls for this STILL should have voting rights removed.
