I don't know how you can say this:

and this:

> There is a law, and there will be others to help improve it.

> Combined with the widespread implementation of TPM, this will become even more feasible.

Without coming to the obvious conclusion that the next step will be even further down the road of tying your every action back to a real, verified, trackable identity.

Everyone misuses terms: obviously, understandably, 99%. And a bunch of other nonsense, both from supporters and opponents. And what will you achieve? Nothing. What is your decision: to put this on each program separately and let a bunch of scumbags have photos, ages, and other data about your children that can be used for persecution? Or to simplify parental control with a single simple mechanism based on the OS and protocol? And thus put control in the hands of parents and responsibility for content violations on content providers. Then there would be no need for any terrible checks with a bunch of data stored who knows where by who knows whom.
