And who would they need to hide from?
You do understand that there are creeps out there grooming children, right? Parents definitely do need to have oversight over their own kids.
Children should absolutely not have privacy on the internet.
The ID requirement is terrible, but saying that children need privacy to explore their sexuality on the internet is very problematic.
If this is the position the UK government holds then that brings into question their desire to protect children online in the first place.
What happens when someone wants to explore their sexuality by finding someone other than the pre-approved person from the parents?
For some children their parents finding out they're gay would cause a great deal of real world physical or phycological harm. It's a really tricky thing to navigate, but aside from saying 'no children should be allowed access to the internet unsupervised' it gets really difficult.
Oh you're that anti-games, anti-porn guy, best to ignore anything you say.
>From people who would harm them?
Like who? I really hope you don't mean the kids' parents.
