The "protection of children" has been the cited reason for a lot of controversial laws and measures recently. A common response is that parents should use parental controls to manage that on their own instead of relying on the government to do it to everyone. I found this article interesting since it touched on how the existing tools aren't that good, and addressing that problem might be a better thing to focus on

We allow YouTube, but not without us present. We had a decent list of blocked channels, then went to edit it but that just cleared out the entire list. So much for usability.
