Given the lack of regulation from anywhere else, I agree with my state here. This is a good thing (even if its made for the wrong reasons).

And phones are so freaking locked down, and apps so centralized, that (on aggregate), it'll be pretty enforcable. If it pushes a small fraction of kids to sideloading, smaller/web platforms, VPNs or even hacking, good.
