> Its called "parenting".

I hear this and it makes me wonder if you have kids. Do you really have the ability to supervise their internet access at all times? Mine are in the next room, I check in on them regularly, but that still results in them being up to no good. Conversations on the topic are a regular thing, losing privileges as a punishment for breaking the rules is happening all the time, but they still always want to push up against the boundaries of what's allowed and what isn't.

And they're not even teenagers yet, with hormones and thirst-traps and whatever else there is to watch out for.

A little bit more control within the house would be useful - I don't want it to come in the form of anything that impacts anyone else, though. I don't need draconian laws, I just need some voluntary, owner-informed device controls that aren't completely trivial for unprivileged users to bypass.
