Overall "more verification" goes in the direction of "more surveillance".

The author described a narrow path that provides "kid safety in the internet" without sacrificing the general population privacy.

Is it technically possible to implement the way he suggests? Yes. Will it be implemented that way? No.

There are people who can affect the way this verification will be implemented who are genuinely interested in more surveillance, heck, remember chat control that is an ongoing fight in a very similar vein, there is a global desire in politicians to get more control over the communications.

To me the author seems either naive or straight up malicious.

It's proverbs, not laws

Most of them are also wrong

Currently a video editor for educators.

Recording video lessons is a lot of work, often a few hours for a 10min lesson

And then after recording the lesson it’s hard to keep it up to date and often just easier to re-record the whole video

So i’m bringing together slides, screen recorder + camera recorder and timeline editor into a unified workflow
