It will make kids really good at bypassing the restrictions that get put in place, which will probably require them to go to some of the shadier places on the web, which could put them in more danger.

The people who made these rules don't understand the fundamental rule of the internet: any online restriction put in place, can be overcome with tools and knowledge that are also readily available on the Internet

Internet monitoring should fall to the parents. When the government parents, they parent everyone and abuse their power.

There are tons of products to prevent access to apps and websites. If all else pass a law so users opt-in to restricted internet access.
