But that's not the goal of those laws.  It's to reduce anonymity on the
Internet and it's one of the steps for Digital ID.

It has absolutely nothing to do with "protecting the children".

Yup.  But doing that puts the onus on the social media platforms to know who is
an adult and who is a child.  They don't want that responsibility. So they
would love it if the OS does it.
