Negotiations will now begin between the Parliament, the Council of the EU, which represents national governments, and the European Commission to determine the final shape of the law.
Nobody is mandating anything - yet.
Sure, it might end up like that, but - to date - the Commission has been rather sensible when it comes to such things. They also have the example of UK that shows that the law works against its intentions by driving people towards unregulated and more dangerous websites.
We’ll see how it goes.

That’s simply how any EU directive works: EU decides what must happen, and it’s up to the individual countries to put it into their respective laws.
When has that ever stopped a puritan?

No, it’s saying that exaxt thing: online users of porn must be deanonymised on penalty of prison.
It’s just that the countries themselves can choose the particulates: who will do the deanonymisation, in what way, what will enforcement look like, etc.
Every EU directive works that way: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(European_Union)
