Parental controls should be a client side option set by the user.

Sure, make it easy for users to do so, but it's a users choice.

Kids don't buy phones or computers, their parents do, and during initial setup, parents could choose "this pc is used by a child" option, input some override password to disable this in the future, and the phone could block whatever needs to be blocked.

It wouldn't take much for a kid to buy a phone or computer.
