This take makes no sense to me.

What parents should be doing is enabling age controls.

Which means those age control features need to exist.

So the state is making sure the features exist.

There's no verification. The headline is a lie. It's just an account setting that parents can use if they want to.

The features are all already here.

Yes, buried in the settings of each account on each service.

Parents want the equivalent of being able to let their kid go to the mall and trust that the movie theater will not let them in to an R-rated movie. They don't want to have to call the theater, identify the child, and say "don't let them in to this list of movies".

For apps it's inconsistent, for Internet access the options are awful.
