Stuff like this irritates me because it tries to force businesses to be enforcers of the law in order to control what boils down to free speech. It’s a fine line, I know and we all have a responsibility to protect the youth. I get it. Still, it is not uncommon for lawmakers to create a law/bill and promote it to the public as a good thing while the primary contents of the bills are focused on things that aren’t good for the public.

Not anything a government has a right to do, coercing business into acting as an arm of government has already gone way too far ! Particularly as the business is based in another country.
