Seems kinda like a pecking order. Target the young ones. And by prohibiting kids, you can ID everyone.
That's the thing. I'm not only perfectly fine with getting anyone under the age of 16 off the Internet, I'd also like to see everyone under the age of 21 off the Internet. But it has to be done in a way that utilizes the strength of modern technology and protects our privacy. It's extremely doable to achieve this, and governments know this, but getting kids off the Internet is not what the government is trying to do.
Segregate the 16-21 to their own internet area so they arent radicalized by the old boomer ideas and they can form their own opinion.
The government can probably id kids anyway through their parents
