Isn't it underestimating them even more to think they can't install a VPN in two clicks (which is the only thing needed to bypass this law).

Also I don't know from where you assume that an "average teen" can easily crack a manufacturer-imposed lock.

Who is the "average teen" that can take an IPhone and bypass FaceID or the Pin Lockscreen ? Which average teen can bypass a password protected secure-boot UEFI bootloader ? Which average teen finds an exploit to unlock a phone bootloader without the manufacturer key ?

If the a law would force the manufacturer to take it seriously, they could make the parental control far harder to bypass than this ridiculous and privacy invasive law
