This is something parents should decide. They should know what kinds of content their kids will be exposed to, and decide when they're ready. This isn't something we should expect platforms or governments to decide.
Some parents will make terrible choices, but I think that's less bad than what's necessary to enforce either a ban or content moderation. I see nothing good coming from that longer term.
Sure that would be a much better situation than the current free-for-all and practically no control possibilities for the parents -- short of never giving them physical access to devices.
