have parents who don’t understand the issue, or are too busy and/or stressed out to monitor the issue, or if you have friends who provide you with access...

The other commenter isn't making strawman arguments, they made quite clear the complex situations in which a parent may not be in a position to monitor or control their childs use.

Parents who neglect their children have their children removed

This is a strawman. It fails to imagine neglect of varied levels. It fails to acknowledge that child removal is the last resort after sustained and/or heavy neglect.

The alternative, you presented one that i see, is a government solution imposed from on high that is liable to the same 'police state' attacks you make about this legislation, or, will go unenforced and thus be a giant waste of time and energy because all parents, especially those time poor or 'not in the know', ignore the tool.
