How do they even plan on enforcing this? What would possibly be the consequences for either parent or child if they violate?

I don’t disagree. I also don’t think think this law will work.
But I have to say as a parent of 3 tween kids it is damn hard to monitor what they consume. If I had one, I could maybe keep up but there are so many apps and so many devices.
Ok, you’ve got parent controls on the iOS devices that sync but those don’t sync with the Chromebooks or the Rokus or Kindles in the house.
Great, got YouTube setup with parental controls but my artist child wants to watch painting tutorials but for whatever reason YouTube kids block those. Ok now, changed that on the tv but they want to paint on the back porch so I have to switch it iPad… as nauseam.
And as far as teaching kids to be safe online, yes that’s important but kids are also smart but inexperienced humans who get curious or find something new you hadn’t thought of.
In conclusion: real problem without easy solutions. This law is a half assed attempt at one.
