I guess we disagree then. I believe protecting children is partly the responsibility of the government, and the level of protection a child receives, shouldn't be dependent upon the technical proficiency of their parents.

While this is noble, what happens when I as a parent disagree with what the government thinks my child needs to be protected from?

Another thing, where the hell are the parents in all of this? If the kid is young enough to need protection from many things on the internet, that same kid shouldn't be surfing the internet unsupervised!

The recommendation is for an opt-in filter that is easy to use for non tech-savvy parents.

The government aren't trying to enforce a filter, despite sensationalist journalism like this.
