I don’t think they approach necessity tbh. At best, they’re a bandaid, and a crutch for parents.
But the drawbacks of the laws that have been implemented so far, and are trying to be, as vast overreaches that give a false sense of security with no real benefit. They also do that by placing even more information into the hands of the very companies causing the problem in the first place.
That’s where regulations would focus in an ideal world, limiting the companies from causing the problems in the first place, not slapping bad patches over them.

Bummer that they’re necessary, but they are.

They are not. It’s not the governments job to parent the nations children, (and conveniently erode our privacy in the process)

How is this argument different from “it’s not the governments job to provide healthcare / education / social services”

Providing healthcare and social services is not inherently about controlling how people think and what information they have access to.
