Not that it isn’t equally stupid but the correct statement would be: “[…] forcing operating system makers to include age assurance at the operating system level parents can optionally activate”.
or “Yes, we know parent are idiots that can’t be bothered to actually parent. So we need to give them an one-click solution for something elementary they simply refuse to do.”
This is clearly a foot in the door situation. A couple of months after this law becomes encorcable, the option will be turned on by default and can optionally be turned off. A couple months later it can only be turned off with an actual ID check. Boom, complete transparency who does what and where on the internet.
I do see your point on the other hand I trust the German legal system to honour the rights of the people and that they would cancel this law if it would devolve to that.

The legal system in which police get a search warrant to raid your home if you call a local politician a dick on Twitter?
I don’t.
