I obviously don't have the actual stats, but I think this is widely used by parents (of the parents I know, usage of the various Screen Time restrictions seems standard, which makes sense to me).

Why hasn't it been noticed? The user isn't the customer. Parents enable the feature, but I doubt they actually use the iPad with filters on and look at what it's blocking. One of the first replies to my tweet was a mom who had been asked by their child yesterday why they'd blocked the word "teen"[1] - and of course they didn't know!

And great idea on filing a Radar as well! (I already backchanneled this to a couple friends who work at Apple, so hopefully it just gets duped to their reports.)

Any blocking can lead to confusing and non obvious results - another reason to oppose ISPs and states doing it. I run a block list (2 million or so URLs in Pihole) for reducing adverting and tracking. The things that happen can be unpredictable and unexpected, particularly because issues are rarely encountered. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if users of this iOS feature have had problems and haven’t known the source or reported them (even when there is an error message).

If anyone wants to file more Radars, mine is FB7590236 (so you can just tell them yours is a dupe of that one and they'll combine them).
