It isn’t enough for them to make a ‘child friendly’ space. Because it isn’t about being child friendly. They must impose themselves on EVERYBODY so they can look and go ‘I MADE EVERYONE CONFORM.’
Making TLDs for restricted content (.adu or .xxx) would be a super easy way to filter sites as well. To me it’s like putting Playboys or whatever at the top of the rack with an opaque plastic – nothing is physically stopping kids from getting to it except gross negligence from every adult in the vicinity.
Oh, looks like the TLD .xxx actually is a thing (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.xxx). Never heard of any site using it. I guess there’s generally zero pressure to register one.
No, that’s backwards. You want to whitelist, deny by default, not whack a mole a blacklist. Then you set it once and done. Hence the certification requirement to be on the whitelist.
There is nothing stopping a kid-friendly .com that is certified from having that site in .kids as well.
Make a .kids tld. Require certification to host on it. Let parents and schools filter to only that domain if they like.
Leave everybody else the fuck alone.
Tired of the stupidity that is congress, both state and federal.

Once upon a time there was .edu
But such limitations usually have failed.
Go to touch.kids for all your tTouchy needs!

Not a bad idea, or a mass register of all certified kid friendly domains regardless of TLD that such filtering software can freely pull from
