There is a big need for a "safe" internet for minors. Another point is that free pornography asks "Are you sure you're 18?" and takes their word whether they are 11 or 19. I, for one, would pay an extra fee to ensure that the internet provided by my ISP was filtered for child inappropriate content. And for platforms that had mixed content, could be blocked until those platforms created safe subdomains like "childsafe.youtube.com" or what have you.

That could viably work, but has one downside. If you shift all the way to the extreme of "super safe", when the inevitable bored trolls come along and figure out how to game the automated filter and get gore/porn/whatever into the safe sandbox for long enough for it to get a few views, the news will have a field day from the resulting chaos. Ultimately, any company that tries to do this will get bad press. You would literally need a mod team running 24/7 vetoing every single video before okaying it. And you'd need like a 7-second delay for streams. But then you'd have the problem of "hi whoever's watching this video and making sure it's okay". Closed/private video streams with a bounded number of participants would be the responsibility of those who joined the group though. So it's really a money question. And the fact that you'd need 1.5-1.8 mods (however you'd implementationally interpret that) to get around human tiredness and boredom, driving costs up.
