This is why blunt legislation is needed.
The existing parental control features are deliberately mis-designed, because there's a lot of money at stake and Meta / Google aren't stupid.
Does anyone really think they didn't run uptake and engagement impact tests on various proposed parental control options... and then ship the one that impacted their revenue least?
The only reason there are controls, in any sense, is as a fig leaf when the lawsuits inevitably started flying (read: now), so they can say 'See, we take this very seriously...'
