Have browsers default block anything that doesn't label their content (allow this setting to be disabled and locked down in parental controls), then hold websit

  > Have browsers default block anything that doesn't label their content This doesn't solve the case for entities not subject to this law. They can just label their content as totally safe and not have to worry about penalties.

  > Have browsers default block anything that doesn't label their content "have" is a bit ambiguous here. I assume you actually mean "have the government require"? in other words, if I develop a browser, I could be fined or thrown in jail for not implementing your "default to blocking anything unlabeled" strategy? since implementing a browser is a vast undertaking, what about if I maintained a fork of Chromium or Firefox that simply disabled that check? we had this exact same debate 20ish years ago [0] except it was about the specter of TV piracy and file-sharing. the proposed solution was the same, though - require software that could be used for piracy to incorporate a specific check, and make it illegal to distribute software without that check. it was a terrible idea then, and remains a terrible idea now. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_flag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_flag

  > Exceptions for good faith efforts to label correctly. Maybe a special label for user generated content that holds companies a bit less liable for it. We already have CDA/230
