Age verification for alcohol/tobacco doesn't require full identification nor keeps any records that can be later used for tracking people for other perverse purposes.

I didn't say that "parenting is wholly on the parents", that's a straw man argument. I said that parents who don't keep their children away from digital dangers should be blamed.

Parents have a huge radius of action, they can:

- Avoid using Youtube for entertaining their babies/toddlers.

- Avoid buying tablets to their children.

- If they buy them a phone, use parental control and restrict app usage.

- Monitor what their kids do on internet.

- And the most important: educate their children to identify dangers.

Do you think a parent who does none of this shouldn't be blamed?

I want parents to embrace responsibility and act as parents. Delegating this kind of education to government is dangerous and has many negative collateral effects we will pay sooner or later.
