I know protection of children is usually a false pretense, but for those that really care, it makes much more sense to let parents fine tune their children's access to various internet properties.
For example, iOS has pretty good parental controls, where parents can limit time in certain apps, etc. It's just a much more scalable and flexible solution.
Sure, some laws for companies could make sense, e.g. forbid them to run ads tailored to children below a certain age. Or label their products appropriately.
But I think it's basically the same thing as "video violence" and any reasonable set of parents shouldn't have any trouble making sure that their eight year old isn't watching Saw 3 (or some other violent film) with her friends.
