It's not, you need actual parental controls. Furthermore if this was just for the children it would be a setting you opt into, fully optional and unregulated, like parental controls are now.

And no, there is absolutely no argument for a slippery slope here. Especially considering we've had OSS for what, 50 years now? And corporations are doing just fine. Unlike the vast history of authoritarianism and government oppression and violence that occurs exactly through this mechanism of giving an inch over and over again until they have taken miles.

Don't be an idiot.

How long have we had parental controls for? R-rated movies?

  • In the 80s, you'd see nudity and heavy swearing in PG movies. You know, "parental guidance". The Overton window has shifted greatly since then.
