it’s a checkmark on a politicians career without them having to do anything real
there’s many issues politicians will rally under if they see that it’s minimal work + huge virtue signaling potential (think of the children ! )

Governments wanting to identify and regulate speech under the guise of protecting children

The California law does not require age verification. Only attestation. From what I have heard the Colorado one is basically identical.
The NY one I have heard is more stringent. But I have not read that or the Colorado one.

Just based off a quick web search it seems that compelled speech is more about the government telling news organizations to report what they tell them.
