That sounds like a parents job then... Like shouldn't the parents be the ones keeping up with what their kids access and look at on the internet to make sure they don't access that stuff then? Shouldn't they be, you know parenting them instead of letting the state parent everyone else for their failures?

I thought as an American adult I could do whatever I wanted within my legal rights free from government over reach.

Now I'm being told I have to give my personal ID to a non-government website (to eventually get hacked and leaked, hurray another vector of ID theft being opened up!)... Because other people can't properly take care of their kids or take 15 minutes out of their day to set up a network filter like my parents did? Or even, you know... Just talk plainly to their kid...like growing up I saw blood and guts and gore from films (fictional entertainment and educational ones played at school) but my parents took the time to explain the things I see and interacted with in the world

This is gross government overreach and is entirely anthetical to American ideals. And as much as I hate the slippery slope argument, do you really trust the American government to not abuse the precedent being set here and expand on it?

This whole thing feels gross. Imagine the government later on starts saying that you have to have mandatory ID and facial scans to access certain websites. Imagine they use that to track down individuals who made aggressive or hyperbolic comments such as expressing dislike for a political party or person. I can imagine so many scenarios where this just goes from bad to worse that I can't type fast enough. The potential for something like this to slowly or even rapidly become abusable is infinite since we already have countries enacting on these models that started out with these same or similar requirements before ramping up.

Combine this with the stuff Google is trying to do and oh man, the future looks bleak for free internet and communication and the further enrichment of the elite and powerful... Road to hell is paved with good intentions and all that
