i believe similar laws are introduced only because the current parents are unable to limit their kids computer access. similar laws weren't needed in 90s because everyone's parent taken good care of their kids and limited how much screen time they had. Of Course there are some people who didn't have such parents but everywhere are exceptions. Just since parents don't have time to take care of their kids they just given up on actually parenting then politicians use similar laws as trojan horse to more censorship

heres the circle: corporations want more money so they raise the cost of their products(houses etc...) -> people want to buy such products but dont have enough money for it -> start working in multiple jobs -> not enough time to parent&raise kids -> politicians make laws that censor internet so kids stay safe(in theory) -> leads to censorship, abuse of power, then banning critics -> less regulation for companies passes because people dont know actual the truth -> more money for corporations -> time for another circle?
