You want parents to parent? God speed and good luck




No, I think what they want is not to have the rest of us have to jump through hoops (and sacrifice privacy) to achieve the same thing. Some of us don't have kids (or live in a household with any), so passing a law that potentially limits our internet access to solve a "problem" that already is dubious is ridiculous.

I couldn't agree more

Fair enough! I misunderstood your previous comment as implying that measures like this were needed due to the unlikelihood of parents enforcing this. (There's probably a joke somewhere in here about "parent" comments as well, but I'm not clever enough to figure it out at the moment).

Absolutely not im never verifying my ID ever on the internet and I think it's not only an extreme overreach but will end up being ineffective as well.

While I think children need to be protected online, this won't but neither will trying to get parents to parent better
