Parents can already control which websites their kids visit by using parental control software, basically every porn website which complies with these identity verification laws uses it. https://rtalabel.net/page.php?content=parents Restricting these safe websites makes users switch to other, freely accessible, and often less moderated sites.

    Exactly, even increasing education on parental controls or legal requirements for that would be better if they actually cared about the children. I think the goal is actually just surveilence.

    Slightly more conspiratorially, I think the goal might be to do just that: push users to more unsafe options, then use that to justify more crackdowns.

    Yeah but imagine trying to explain to your 15yo kid that you're not going to let them interact with their friends on facebook or whatever because reasons.
