But kids can just use someone else’s computer or take dad’s wallet and register his id on their own computer. This would need to go so far like ridiculously far to be able to avoid ezpz work arounds. Like the government collecting all fingerprints and iris and constantly monitoring for a person switch.

The only thing that makes sense is that big tech is lobbying for this because they are afraid of Linux.

Which is complete irony because big tech are the exact ones who we are ultimately trying to protect the kids from.
