I just happened to see this linked to in a news site and had to read it. Apparently, not all Republicans (Conservatives...the never Trump group) have concerns about age restricting the internet.
(From the article) Were there a way for Congress to superintend children’s use of the internet without destroying that internet in the process, I would be entirely open to considering it. But I don’t think that there is — and, frankly, I’m not willing to take the risk in order to find out whether I’m right. Thomas Sowell famously observed that “there are no solutions, there are only trade-offs,” and so it is here. The downside of an open and free internet is that some information will be made accessible to people for whom it is not suitable. The downside of government intervention is the guarantee of a fractured internet and the possibility of a sprawling and censorious bureaucracy that acts far beyond its statutory role.
