Online discussion of this tends to the super negative. I've said here and in reddit flows that I think digerati seriously underestimate how concerned parents are. I think this move is possibly more popular than people give credence to. (-my son is 32 and I do not claim to be super concerned on his behalf)
It's clear from this article your historical relationship with a search agent like Google can inform their sense of need to check ID: I have a 20+ year old google identity and they know me inside out.
I also tend to hammer on about homomorphic encryption. There is no need for a third party who sees your 100pts identity checks to know where you go. For me personally, noting a technical fix to a social problem is unusual, I tend to say it's a mistake to reach for tech fixing society, but the paranoia around "the government sees my activity proving who I am" has a specific, cryptographically defined solution.
