IHMO: This is just a distraction/push.

Distraction: try to distract away from other things happening - like Trump
succeeding in Iraq.
Push: One of the Left's tactics is to do something that is most certainly
unconstitutional, and wait for pushback.  When they get none, they push some
more, etc.  But, as you said, someone will have to go to court over this and no
one wants to pay that expense.

But the sinister background is to track people - especially children - on the
Internet.

The law is written so that the USERS won't go to court.  It's the companies who
produce the OS that are on the hook.  But that will make open source companies
seek other states/countries to base their operations out of.  There are several
in Colorado and California today - one of the reasons the laws started there.

They never do.  Congresses everywhere are staffed by morons who think they are
the smartest people in the country.


... You can't do that. It's been digitally cursed.
