In effect, this is the power to restrict internet to anyone.

It is, and I have no doubt that is the entire point, despite them "thinking of the children."

The Canadian version of this is especially cynical: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c309y25prnlo

That article was about people suing openAI.

It contains "The plaintiffs allege no age verification took place on the site."

As if this is a problem.

As if parents aren't responsible for the actions of their children

To be clear: this is civil action by a family, not the position of the Government of Canada.

There is no meaningful distinction, which is why a civil case in a foreign country is picked up by the BBC.

Furthermore, the Gov are trying to deflect on to OpenAI (and the internet) because a huge part of the failings in that case involve them seizing the weapons from the perpetrator, and then giving them back.

Im sure the likes of prince andrew and keir starmers advisors think way to much the children
