The biggest problem with this legislation seems to be not its intended target (youth gaming), but the fact that, since it is likely to be very difficult to enforce and a lot of kids will try to break the rules, it opens up a wide opportunity for selective enforcement - $opposition_politician lets his kids game too much, $foreign_company has ineffective age verification for their online servers, et cetera.

With that said, I'm not surprised to find people in the West wondering what else we're going to do about "artificial addictions".
