Your feedback is well taken. A couple of things (1) Based on our experience, we ran into a lot of empirical evidence that parents don't take the lead in talking to their kids about what they might run into on the Internet (2) The pro-choice argument works well for teens who are well aware of whats out there. Our intent is to protect younger children who might be accidentally exposed to adult content before their parents have had a chance to talk to them about it (or are too young to visit these sites even after such a discussion). Incidentally, the trigger for this idea was when my co-founder saw his 6-year old cousin accidentally viewing an age-inappropriate video on YouTube on an iPad while his parents were away. That's when we looked for solutions for "safe YouTube" out there and were surprised to see how sorry the parental "control" solutions out there were.

This is definitely needed. My six year old has a tablet and I dread the day she sees something "rude" on the internet.

I see; that's indeed a good idea. Perhaps it'd also be an idea to tell parents about the intended age range?
