Democrats get on board with shit like this all the time just more often over copyright or spying on people. You know real bipartisan effort stuff.

Although COPPA was introduced by a Democrat and signed into law by Clinton.

politicians are really just career criminals. They can't earn an honest dollar on their own so they have to buy and sell favors for it, all while selling out the rest of the country underneath them.

In the article one of the items of information was that the state would not be the one to enforce the law, that, instead this law gives citizens the ability to sue over a business's failure to comply. This takes a criminal offense with it's level of proof "To a reasonable doubt" and tries it in a civil court where the level of proof is lower. "a preponderance of evidence"
