Sounds very similar to how I grew up (1990s-2000s). Almost no form of mainstream media was restricted in our house but I would get regular warnings that if I was imitating unsavory behaviour in media (this was when "violence in media" was still a residual mainstream concern), then that cool movie or cool video game was gone. If dad decided to open the history one day and found porn then the internet was gone. They had a stake in the matter but on the whole the burden was on you not to force them to exercise it. I can't say if that will work for every child, but if you suspect they're going to grow up to be an HN reader like you and me, hey, maybe it probably would.
