I don't think it's actually about protecting children. It's about shaming the people who look at pornography by forcing them to shed anonymity. But really it's about shaming themselves because they have a humiliation fetish.

It's not even about that, it's just an excuse to get more data on us. They say it's for protecting kids online because that's the only possible reason most people will agree on, that kids need protection online. But if they actually cared about that or reducing porn watching, they'd have dns blocking at the router level available for families with kids to opt into, have a law saying companies had to include dns blocking settings on the router settings etc. But they don't care about either of these things at all
