Broadly I agree. I think there is room for good regulation here, though. Specifically, a legal obligation to hook into parental control systems to enable effective parenting in our increasingly complex digital world. While it would be nice if everyone were individually responsible enough to put in the effort to figure out the specifics of what their kids might be exposed to and the control mechanisms available to them, realistically that's probably expecting too much. There's no perfect solution, but intervention focused on obligating (especially large) organizations to empower users and make safety easy to understand and act on is infinitely preferable to obligating companies to restrict and police their users.
