I don't disagree, but this law could have been an opportunity to give parents better tools with which to parent.

It is far, far too difficult for any parent today to impose parental controls on their kids' devices. Parental controls are an afterthought, put in place barely enough to tick the box saying "we have parental controls", and not effectively doing much of anything. The law could have forced tech companies to do better and make it easy for parents to use effectively.
