We don't need a nanny state to help with either of the two things. We can just have parents do their jobs if they wish to restrict social media usage.

But they don't - either through lack of knowledge or just can't be bothered to enforce it because they don't want to upset their kid. If parents were doing this already, the government wouldn't have to step in.

The only reason government are doing this is because they want to force everyone to identify themselves online.
