The fact that this being justified with the pretense of being "for the children" seems like such a transparent way to play on people's emotions.

From the start of the proposal itself:

"At least one in five children falls victim to sexual violence during childhood 3 . A 2021 global study found that more than one in three respondents had been asked to do something sexually explicit online during their childhood, and over half had experienced a form of child sexual abuse online"

I am (obviously) against child sexual abuse. I can also say, with very high certainty, that those numbers are being blown completely out-of-proportion, with the widest definition possible used.

To justify such a wide-reaching proposal behind this thin veneer of justification is absolutely nuts to me.
