This is bad problem solving in my opinion. If this is truly a problem, then there has to be other "rabbit holes" that are damaging kids and teenagers. Anything from stunts to weird challenges and pranks could have similar effects. I suspect the root cause is the algorithm itself in the hands of impulsive minds that don't have their prefrontal cortex fully developed. If I'm cynical then I would say this is a pretend solution so that governments don't ask for the full removal of kids and teenagers from these addictive behavior of watching content online. That would be the moral direction in which this should go, or alternatively there would be a different suggestion algorithm for children, not just filters but something less aggressive that would incentivize less usage, but it seems big tech wants as much usage as possible even if it has long term societal consequences.
