> Online platforms will be required to suppress the spread of harmful content, such as violent, hateful or abusive material and online bullying. More seriously harmful content, including that relating to suicide, self-harm and eating disorders, will need to be kept off children’s feeds entirely, as will pornography.
Porn notwithstanding, is there any reason not to have this be the rule for adults too? Then you don't need age verification for nearly all content. What makes me undeserving of protection?
It really seems like the end goal for all this is having G, PG, R like rating system for online content, and default untagged to R, and then letting parents have some parental controls just like other media.
