I like some aspects of this approach, but two points don't work well with me. 1. It shouldn't be a legal requirement for parents to enable this on their kids devices. This should mearly be an option available to parents. Do not tell me how to raise my kids. 2. "Safe for kids" is pretty nebulous, and you already know certain dumpy states would abuse the hell out of this (i.e. declaring content "unsafe for kids" if it features a man with effeminate characteristics). Maybe a solution to the latter problem would be to use content descriptors instead of a blanket "safe for kids" flag. i.e. individual flags for pornography, graphic violence, naughty words, etc.

The government is already doing it, depending on the country, you can get prosecuted if for example you buy alcohol for children or let them do something dangerous. > Maybe a solution to the latter problem would be to use content descriptors instead of a blanket "safe for kids" flag. i.e. individual flags for pornography, graphic violence, naughty words, etc. Maybe, but this increases possibility for fingerprinting.

  > The government is already doing it, depending on the country, you can get prosecuted if for example you buy alcohol for children or let them do something dangerous. The difference is that alcohol can cause immediate and even irreversible harm to anyone, especially children. Alcohol is heavily regulated even for use by full grown adults, specifically because of its capacity for harm. Evidence that seeing nudity or hearing dirty words does the same is incredibly sketchy at best. But even then, in most states, it is perfectly legal to let your own kids drink alcohol on your own private property. > Maybe, but this increases possibility for fingerprinting. Maybe, I think that depends on the implementation. But either way, I doubt it is much of a concern for parents who just want better control over what their kids see and do online.

I like the idea of a set of tags that can be used to filter content, if so desired. It would need a set of agreed-upon tags with the option to add others. And yes, voluntary would have to be a requirement.
