And if the government regulates your children join an after school program where they learn outdoor survival skills, exercise, and learn the popular political parties glee club.

There would be nothing new here?

The argument is that kids being online isn’t the governments business one way or the other.

The slippery slope argument is always secondary, but how often has government regulation not grown in size and scope? Combine that with how norms shift and the type of large scale identity infrastructure put in place to support this, can you honestly say this isn’t going to grow?

All of that also ignores the possibility (read inevitability) that a bad actor/authoritarian would exploit this access further without popular support.

And we already see what India is trying to do - force phone manufacturers to have an always on GPS feature where the government can track you and disable the phone’s feature where it notifies you if something is using your location.

And they tie your SIM card with your ID.
