Google pulls up the ladder on open internet, pushes unconstitutional regulation
There is an easier way to protect everyone from kids. Make an OS-level setting ("show safe content only") that only parents can change. With this setting, the browser would open only pages that declare that they are safe for kids, by using an HTTP header (safe-content: yes). Any other websites are blocked by the browser.<p>Make it a legal requirement for parents to set up this option for their children on every device they use. Make it illegal to send invalid "safe content" headers.<p>Also, with "safe content" setting OS should allow running and installing only apps that are verified to be safe (for example, it should not allow installing messengers like Telegram or browsers that do not respect safe content settings).<p>This way there is no need to verify anything and make life complicated for adult people.
