*hur dur but we gotta protect the kids!* Fuck that. Make the PARENTS be responsible for what their crotch goblins are up to instead of just using devices as an electronic babysitter, don't just blanket the entire internet with censorship to make it even easier for the shitty parents to be shitty while making things harder for everyone else.

What makes it even more confusing to me is that it doesn't even work - I remember when I was a kid that as soon as one person at school figured out how to bypass safety controls we'd all know, and this is trivial with a VPN or just a well-worded web search.
Censorship just isn't a solution, we need open discussion around sensitive topics and resources for how to approach them safely (and, of course, warnings when it's not possible to be completely safe so people can make up their own minds on what risks they're comfortable with).
100% agree, also prohibiting things may sometime make them more appealing to people (like weed for example, the illegality of it in some states make the kids want to try it more just to be punk and cool) People need to be informed like you said, not forced to not do things because someone said "This = BAD".
