That very much isn't the only right way, and it is far to close to government tracking activities online. For one it effectively allows governments to disallow someone from accessing the internet.

All this to let you do stuff you were allowed to do anyway.

The problem is handing kids admin level access on a device with full unfiltered access to several communication networks. You do not fix that by demoting everyone's access.

I wholeheartedly agree. Worse, these verification "solutions" distract from fixing the actual underlying issue.

We need better supervision which demands better parental controls which demands better content filtering which demands better content classification.

So fix the root. Legally mandate a standardized protocol for self reporting the content rating of resources.

		Yep, recycling a post about reasons to do it that way: > 1. Most of the dollar costs of making it all happen will be paid by the people who actually need/use the feature. > 2. No toxic Orwellian panopticon. > 3. Key enforcement falls into a realm non-technical parents can actually observe and act upon: What device is little Timmy holding? > 4. Every site in the world will not need a monthly update to handle Elbonia's rite of manhood on the 17th lunar year to make it permitted to see bare ankles. Instead, parents of that region/religion can download their own damn plugin.
