If this was really about protecting kids, there would be an emphasis on supporting parents in keeping their kids safe online.

This is going to have a horrific effect on kids seeking out advice or support on the internet, especially ones who have nobody to turn to.

No it’s about safety.
Obviously the way you ensure safety is to give your identity to dodgy companies with poor cybersecurity.

It’s the same with anything else that’s “for the children”, it’s about control, always has been.
