I am just trying to think through what solutions would be acceptable if we could expect good implementations of a law, and parental controls, and if we assumed good faith on people opposing and promoting these laws. none of which seems to be true

Well you first have to not damage the free market, thus proprietary software is defacto outed but galaxy brains will say that it's not freedom to not be able to destroy the market.
In a normal world a user will ask the tech responsible for the maintenance to solve this since he would be paid for that.
But the average user unknowingly abandoned the maintenance of digital infrastructures.
>and if we assumed good faith
We know it's not good faith, it never was about the children.

But anyway it's imo fair in my experience that parents should not allow their kids to have non-monitored/non-restricted access to the internet.
So it's fair that people should be doing that.
But there are so many way to go around any of these filters that only an experienced admin would know how to do that.
The only proper implementation of this sort of law as I stated in my scenario joke post, would be that people should hire someone to do it, it's cheap when your tech is crowdfunded (and if he does his job properly).
That the software is FSF certified, as it will make a neutral setting for any company big or small to actually compete/serve users.
And that the companies have to log and have transparent rules sets/configuration to be audited by the parents/customers.
The other solution would be to automate a software that would cover most case scenario but that would lead to just more trouble. You can't automate something like this and leave it in the hands of people who will put no password or the same leaked password everywhere.
Except of course if the password is mandatory self generated into something strong.
Then the user would have to user scan a QR code to save it, which will leak immediately if they use the backdoored default app one on their mobile computer.
Again you cannot expect people who were trained into having no digital hygiene to even do the basics suddenly.
So the best solution is I say it again, pay your freaking tech and the tech better be maintaining the software stack/infrastructure he uses.
