alt Hacker NewsIs it not ok that parents that spend more time and effort with their kids have better outcomes than parents that spend less time? I’d rather that than have the nanny state regulate everything bad for kids out of existence; we already know what kind of civil rights violations politicians try to justify with children.

You’re making this a very stark, binary choice. Reality is far more nuanced.
It is very hard work raising kids if you are interested in parenting and want to do your best.
The thing is that not everyone's life goal is to be the best parent around. And there is pressure from the society/culture/government to reproduce for healthy economy.
If we as a country want people to have more children, then we need to make their job easier. That may include censorship, age verifications, etc.
