Weak minds love government intervention over parental responsibility. It’s awesome! Get your IDs out, everyone, think of the children. JFC.

Here's the reality: some significant % of parents will have zero parental responsibility and are ill suited to be parents. This is just a fact. How to solve this? 1. Only allow suitable responsible people to be parents. Would you like this? This would be highly unpopular and wouldn't happen. 2. Or alternatively you enforce uniform rules across all population of minors, thus children without functional parents have limitations and protections in place as if they had parents with resposibility. The second option is simply more palatable and feasible to be implemented.

  the problem isn't what it means to the kids, but what it means to us! It'd mean we'd need to be ID'd. We don't want that.

    Oh, I agree with you in regards for the ID requirements. That is not a solution (especially for social networks that are not self identifying like FB)

Then parents all over the world have failed. Even the successful ones have limited shelf life before the kids get isolated from the friends and losing out the actual real world Social Life. The tone of your response signals that you're definitely Americans. Americans have a different culture and perspective when it comes to Freedom, Government intervention given your history. That doesn't mean your perspective fits in other countries.

Absolutely, and if people can’t be good parents they shouldn’t be. Maybe people should be given permission to have kids. Then the only people who have kids are the ones who can carry that responsibility. So many parents today dont have the education, time or knowledge to truly understand what their kids are doing. Just imagine, we need to curtail our freedoms, so that these weak parents can not screw up their kids because of their inability to adapt to the world. /s PS: for what it’s worth, I doubt this bill will pass. Creating verifiable IDs for children is a failed dream, and cannot be achieved; even the most draconian interventions will have errors.
