It's ironic that the faction that's usually talking about "personal responsibility" is now saying we can't put this horrible burden on parents to control their kids' device use --- or even just teach them how to make healthy decisions and interpret what they see in a healthy manner. I seriously doubt that reading smutty stories online is going to scar a kid for life.

It's not ironic, rather it's hypocritical. At this point it's painfully clear that they only invoke lofty ideals to trick reasonable people into supporting their backwards authoritarian agenda. The real aim is simply for power, and open hypocrisy is one aspect of demonstrating power - rules for thee, not for me.
