Aside from the problems stated in the other replies, another problem are the differing standards of what kids should or shouldn't access.

There are some websites some parents would be fine with their kids accessing that other parents could consider obscene. Given that much of the argument is giving back control to parents, the definition of 'obscene content' shouldn't be decided for them. This is especially true given that if conservatives had their way, all LGBTQ content would also be age restricted.
