This doesn't sound like protecting the users and more like protecting the governments. What Harmful means routinely aligns with the powerful políticas and corporations and not people. I'm usually worried about how "protection of people/children" is used to restrict choice.
It also seems rather interesting that the gov wants to stop companies from doing what they increasingly aggressively do (targeting people with tech) but companies are much more tech savvy than gov and policy makers.

Lobbying being what it is, it's interesting to see how this battle of regulations actually affects things and for whom.
GDPR has been a mixed bag but an interesting one nonetheless and this will definitely be another.
