Well, there are things that could be done that don't involve identifying anybody. For example, I think it was the social media bill in Texas that got real specific about what services it applied to. I think if someone handed down a bill like that which said "algorithmic feeds are a deceptive trade practice" and "no infinite scrolling", among other things, without anyone having to identify themselves, it'd pass with little resistance.
I just have zero confidence that the government, particularly the federal government will do it without infringing on rights. It is pretty clear what the goal is, and it's been a consistent effort from them for decades to do it in various forms.
If they did actually write up a reasonable bill with language that doesn't have massive overreach, or is worded much to broadly I might support it at least a bit more.
Although, I really do think these things ultimately do come down to parents. That is the fact right now, it's up to parents to protect their kids from online content, and social media, just like it's on them to protect then from the other dangers of life. Generally I do think it should be on parents to decide what is in the best interest for their kids.
I think the government stepping in always has the potential to have some serious negative consequences. Like for instance, I'm sure whoever the retards were that passed laws about trans kids, thought they were helping out somehow (because they fell for the tranny bullshit), but it was a horrific law that violated the rights of parents, and put kids in what I would consider real danger of having life long physical and psychological damage done to them. I can't remember which states passed laws like those. I think California at least, if not a couple others.
It's the reason why I tend to be more libertarian. It's not that I think people should have to fend for themselves. But I see it as the most direct, and effective way for things to be done. The people that are actually effected should be the ones making decisions. Because government bureaucracy is slow, usually misinformed on some level, and many times does things sloppily like a bull in a china shop. And that's when they aren't being outright malicious. I think the better way is directly educating parents on what the actual dangers are, and what kind of material steps they can take to limit, or stop access to these apps.
