This discussion of online safety in the UK seems to be focused entirely on the need to protect children - which I guess almost everybody agrees with.

There seems to be almost no discussion on the implied safety and privacy issues around enforcing age/identity checks on everyone, whether this data can be stored safely, who pays for it, policing the use of VPNs, etc...

It seems it's another bit of performative political posturing, rather than sensible, workable legislation.
