“I 100% support this but somehow I think the courts will twist and turn and decide children have more rights than voting adult citizens.”
So you think EVERY person who wants to register with any and all platforms must show certified identification of their real selves? Are you kidding? This is not at all about children, this is all about positively identifying every user on the internet by real name and attaching content to them.
And if you actually think they are going to destroy the data after they verify it then I have a bridge to sell you. They will SELL this information without your permission just like they already secretly do now. And to them “social media” means EVERY WEBSITE on the internet.
And their first customer will be to a government database. They will be data mining on EVERYONE while hiding behind children. Supporting this is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. This is Nikki Haley caliber stupidity here... It will DESTROY the internet all together.
I use no social media unless you count FR or other such BBs as such. This issue is powerfully hard to manage as you demonstrate din your post. That does not mean we ignore it and do nothing.
Children need to not be on social media, my actual preference would to be banning apps like toctok and others, they are poison imo.
Look at that person’s homepage.

That may well be true but it takes eons for things to develop.
Just look at humanity itself and their development over the
thousands of years. Shorten it to when Columbus sailed the
ocean blue in 1492. What has evolved and what has been and
what the future will hold another 1000 years from now.
Certainly it would destroy sites like FR. Freedom of speech is a founding principle of our Country and is the life blood of democracy. Insisting on full identification stifles speech. When will people understand it is all about control & nothing about protection.
