It's already available and parents are not utilizing it.

But I also don't see the problem with this. As long as there's savvy and smart children that did get educated on safety, the knowledge can propagate to those that did not.

It’s already available and parents are not utilizing it.

The parents have determined that it's not needed. They've determined that trying to strictly regulate exactly what Little Johnny can and can't see online does him far more harm than porn ever could. This hyper-authoritarian nonsense needs to die in a fire.
