This 1000%. Legitimate services have an incentive to self-identify because they don't want to anger parents and are generally not out to corrupt kids. A setting to block unrated sites could be provided as well.
Movies and video games self report their rating not sure why web content needs to be any different.
The problem with the top down approach of the government deciding which topics are taboo is that it removes agency from parents. Different parents, different kids, and different ages all lead to different values and levels of acceptibility.
My tin foil hat catches my eye every time I see government trying a heavy-handed, slippery-slope approach to clamping down on a problem instead of just providing society with a common set of tools to accomplish a relatively simple goal.
