Maybe I'm just tired but this reads like a fucking riddle.

They want to block "app stores" that don't block "AI apps" that don't block "harmful content" from kids?

(And of course it's left lovely and murky what any of those terms actually mean.)

Also, "consider". What does that even mean. Everybody reading the text did in fact "consider" it.

I mean there are questions being asked about online gambling ads again. Time to find some other way to "protect the children" to avoid having to legislate around something with actual societal consequences, and lobbyists.
