I feel like the law should change to prevent children from having devices that can freely access the internet. i.e. they can still access devices but not own them. Then its about parental supervision. We're only here because parents give their kids smartphones with zero oversight.

"grown ups can always use vpn"
until they can't because they're also made illegal
don't forget this is also the same government that has effectively tried to ban e2e encryption by forcing companies to install backdoors into their algorithms under gag orders
it is no longer (if it ever was) about the children
It's hard to know how it'll work in practice without trying it.
