I am not sure if I am more disturbed by the user journey they want to introduce for accessing websites or the fact that a private company (american, chinese, I don't care) has to become the gatekeeper to let me in.
Who the hell wants this Internet...?

The under educated, unthinking unwashed masses. Just look at the tea leak. The amount of people that do not care about freedom or privacy on the internet vastly outnumber those that do. And because they do democracy unmasks itself in the digital realm as the tyranny of the unthinking majority.
Weep for the future.
The lazy middle class who don't like to take the responsibility of actually contributing to their community and running their family.
ps: Had to add this post after the others identified the low class and the upper class as responsible for this ;). But depending on where you are, the low class might not be "the masses".
Politicians and their buddies scared of having lost control of mass media.

Scared rich people and bureaucrats
Well meaning nordic liberals? They have been pushing chat control, I assume this is their idea as well.
