The problem is that these laws tend to escalate. Once a government starts regulating, it doesn't stop.

It is also the wrong model. Instead of creating child-safe devices, just like there is a difference between toys and power tools, this regulation pretends that all devices are child safe and parents have to figure out which ones really aren't.

Well basically nobody is making child safe computers for ages over 7. Sitting around hoping that changes isn't useful.

So trying to force a very very basic child safe mode makes sense.

And I don't think this regulation pretends all devices are child safe.
