> "Parents have full control over their children's devices" Do you have experience as a parent with teens?

  Why don't you hold my hand through the scenario? Parent buys phone/table/computer for their child, but retains admin control so the child can't disable the filter. Now what? Sure, some kids will find a way to get an unlocked device, and use it enough to cause "harm", but they would have probably found a way onto foreign sites that don't comply with EU rules anyway. I don't see why we should assume this digital ID check will prevent "harm" so much better than the alternative I proposed, especially without even trying the alternative first.

    You may have misunderstood my question. I am also against the EU micromanaging our lives. I agree that "technically," it's possible for parents to control their child's devices. But it seems impossible for me to imagine that parents could manage teens' devices. I saw numerous examples of teens evading their parents' or society's authority. Teens do many weird things that are impossible to imagine as an adult.

      It doesn't have to be impossible for teens to evade. Just hard enough to significantly reduce usage.
