Seems pretty reasonable to get annoyed at a law that at best will be useless and at worse dangerous, while it will directly dictate features into the tools we all use everyday. All for no gain for anyone but maybe Meta and some other big companies.
Exactly. It's the beachhead of corporations upon which they will pry even more mandatory metadata to market to, silence, and control people.
Also, not every jurisdiction defines adult and/or legally able to use social media the same way. Parents need to parent at the level 0 social layer than push this off to everything at technical layers and everyone else.
It's a moral panic ruse in legislative form for greed and power.
