Regulators already decide certain content you can see through age rating restrictions (M15, R18+ etc) and has been the case for decades. Its just that no such ratings has been extended into online content, which is the issue.

Every one of those can be stepped over at the discretion of a parent. I can buy an M rated videogame for them. I can show them an R rated movie in theater. I can let them have wine.

Plus the bulk of what you're referring to (ESRB ratings) are voluntary.
