On the topic of 4chan [1]

Many sites will just set the header by default. Now you've created a problem.

I am not seeing a problem. Kids need not access those sites unless the parent or legal guardian approves it. Sites meant for children would not be adding the header.

Is Wikipedia "meant for children?" Should they be fully denied access to it? Should Wikimedia be fined if they make a mistake? If they get fined often enough do you think they'll just turn the header on everywhere in order to avoid risk?

Replace Wikipedia with any other mixed content site you prefer.
