I'm all for educating children about sex, and I'm also sympathetic to the plight of data privacy.
However, I also feel like the internet right now is a pretty bad place for minors. Like, there's so much porn and other harmful content that's so easily accessible, to the point that it's easy to find yourself stumbling into it on complete accident. And with the speed that the internet evolves, it seems pretty unreasonable to me to just kinda expect parents just to be able to fully keep up with it.
I don't think I support this law in particular, but I also don't know what could possibly be done to any real effect.
