Its a local, safe option for reducing child access to things they shouldn’t access.
With the proposed measures in place, any app can know exactly which devices children are using, something noone can do now.
When you implement a feature, there’s no way in the world you can guarantee only “good people” can use it, and malicious individuals are way more interested in getting info about children than anyone else.
That doesn’t protect children, it puts them even in more danger than they are now.
Being able to exclude open source would be amazing.
What infuriates me tho, is what I read in the linked reddit thread that the article doesn’t talk about, that is, lobbyist pushing for this moronic law to try and avoid paying fines.
It would seem governments, this time, didn’t do it on their own.
