Well, yes? Parents are already legally responsible for their young children and under their supervision. The alternative would be to not even give such young children these kind of devices to begin with - which might actually be preferable.

I understand the slippery slope argument the EFF is making, but they should keep to the government angle. Having the ability for governments to deploy specific machine learning classifiers is not a good thing.
