You would stop approximately a hundred times more child sex abuse by passing a law saying kids aren't allowed to go to church, be around cops, or play sports than you would with a social media ban. Weird how you're not supporting that! Why do you hate children and want them to be sexually abused?

And it's not even about the children, but to establish censorship tools - once your identity is verified, it can be used against you (e.g. retaliation for something you said, or bc you belong to an oppressed minority)

Remember: You can't force a site or service to treat minors differently than adults without requiring EVERY USER to establish whether they're an adult. Which is, inherently, a deanonymization mandate, because to verify age, you must verify identity.
