We kinda have to face the facts here, we will NEVER maintain anonymity anywhere until we deal with the elephant in the room:
Parent enablers who forgo their responsibilities and OTHERS liberties because they either don't care enough to use the tools available to protect their kids or actively ENCOURAGE the practices that harm their kids as part of the attention seeking ideology (think on parents getting their kids to go to drag shows).
Until that spiny plant is gripped and crushed, anonymity will ALWAYS be under threat because their actions and inactions result in these rules going forward to protect children.
That's one aspect but you also can't deny a push for parents not to be as involved with their kids in lue of the state.
Think about how misapplied the term 'helicopter parents' is. It makes it easier to justify these rules when that culture is ingrained enough thst lots of parents don't even utilise parental controls..
The internet destroyed all that and parents were blamed for not parenting hard enough.
Well yeah, the failure of parenting is already assumed by them having access to the internet. If your child has unfettered access in that manner you are in fact not parenting hard enough.
I spent a few cumulative hours over the course of multiple devices and years setting up parental controls for my children's stuff, and a random check every now and again to make sure nothing slipped by. If you can't even be asked to do that, I have trouble believing you even care enough about your child period.
You can complain about how much harder it is to parent because of this, but there are 8 dozen reasons why parenting is harder these days than in the past. We either adapt and try to overcome, or just keep letting white birth rates be outpaced by niggers, Jeets, and bugmen who are ready to replace us.
It's actually almost easier to lock things up from kids via various tools. Limit kids' cell phone access and data use. Router-based whitelisting and blacklisting, as per network device. Etc etc.
Sure, maybe you can't cut it off 100%. But a sufficient level of massive inconvenience can easily make a difference. Parents are just too overworked and sometimes too incompetent.
And politicians will unfortunately use this argument even when parents are doing just fine anyway because politicians are getting paid by lobbyists to push these bills.

Which is why many groups don't want it dealt with.
Parents didn’t have to worry about this in the past.
Porn was locked up tightly with a key and you needed to be an adult to view it.
The internet destroyed all that and parents were blamed for not parenting hard enough. Now the law is finally catching up with the internet.

lolno, finding a discarded porn mag in the bushes literally happened so much it was more than just a meme about ye olde pre-internet times..
You weren’t even around at that time.

BS. even post internet video rental places in inner cities had the adult section behind unlocked saloon doors you could see right through.
Letting your kids on the internet unattended is the same as letting them go out and talk to strangers unattended.
