So a government official who is promoting government overreach.....
I mean that’s what they’ll say it’s for. Because nobody wants to let kids watch porn obviously. But in practice; 

People who want to visit these websites will have to install an application for government-licensed digital certification on their mobile phones to prove that they are at least 18 years old.

Yeah that’s very different to blocking access to porn for minors. >

The Reddit take: "This is clearly government overreach, an attempt to backdoor computers!"
The reality: This is some minister or group of them trying to raise their profile with a perennial move, one which is absolutely never really enacted.
