Sure. Those are fine examples - and I agree on those specifics.
But this thread started out with a broadside on the "child safety" rationale and I joined in when it deteriorated to "parents should manage their kids safety" argument.
That's the reflexive attacks I was referring to.
BTW, I appreciate your civil and well-thought-out responses.

@TCatInReality I still stand by that statement by and large, but it isn't as extreme (or reflexive) as it might have initially come across. Yes, reasonable laws should and DO exist to protect the vulnerable, but responsibility for children does primarily rest on parents, again by law. Neglectful parenting used as an excuse for mass surveillance and censorship is where I start to get a little snarky.
