Sounds like you are struggling. Yeah there’s some bad stuff out there but also lots of good. To live well we need to not fixate on things we can’t change. That’s a death spiral of frustration and anxiety and anger and overwhelm. Please reach out to people or services if you need to! For this forum, do you mean the SM age legislation? We don’t yet know exactly how it will work and I reckon with the speed that the government moves it could still be ages away until they figure out the tech required. And I’m sure some smart peoples will have some very easy solutions for how to stay anonymous anyways. I don’t think we are doomed, not right now anyway.
BTW I’m not entirely opposed to some controls on what kids can view in the internet, there is some nasty stuff out there that is really bad for the mental health of kids. I don’t know what the sensible compromise is though.
