New powers would let Ministers pick and choose what should be restricted, as well as impose curfews on access.
All without having to prove sites are harmful for children.
They don’t just cover social media, but all 'Internet services’ – blogs, websites, online games and more.
This is overreach.

All adults would have to do a digital ID check to establish their age with third-parties so they can access any service.
If you don't, you could face blocks or time restricted curfews.
These powers could be used by any government in the UK to restrict access to almost any online service you could imagine.

One fundamental issue with that suggested schema is that it completely breaks down if one normalizes peer-to-peer interactions, in which case there is no service.
They're so hierarchical authoritarian-brained that they cannot even conceive of this.
