Explain to me how providing ID to websites is good. Explain to me how this is good for your data privacy. Uploading all your photo ID and whatnot into some private corp or government database, where it absolutely will be linked with your account, which is already grossly tracked across the internet in numerous ways. you're just asking to have your ID attached to your online activities.

You are clearly not reading the same thread I am. No one is defending those concepts; literally the opposite. You asked "why" in response to the statement that believing government propaganda is bad.

Sure, better parenting is good in a general sense, and parents should be mindful of what their kids are watching, but better parenting won't stop governments from invading your privacy because they don't actually do it in order to protect kids. They do it to control people, and they SAY they're doing it to protect kids in order to keep people complacent until it's too late. Believing the government when they say they need to protect kids from media is believing authoritarian propaganda.
