It won't protect children because it still allows unidentified adults access to children.

It does however threaten people's privacy as you now need to identify yourself to access certain sites, sites that pinkie promise not to use your personal data but actually can only operate by selling said data. Now tied to your ID. Name, photo, everything.

I understand, didn't mean to imply their argument is valid. Just thinking that if there was a reasonable form of identification the unreasonable options are instantly less attractive.

Don't be so easily misled.

The bad options are INTENTIONALLY pushed by corporate backing.
