This is just going to show how bad officials underestimate the savviness of teens. Also, the tutorials will be on TikTok in about 30 seconds showing how to evade this. This is such a stupid and pointless law. It’ll backfire just like when Canada (+ Australia before they reneged) tried to ban news
Ask your favorite nerd what they were doing on a computer when they were 16 and you will quickly learn that this law is a mistake.
