Brute forcepixel valid concern, but that why tag might better (and tracking pixel should illegal anyway). Also parent then has control to allow different thing depend on what they think ok.
But think this not os thing, this browser thing. Since most based on big project (chromium, firefox, webkit) if base implement parental control most other will automatically get. And display blocked for set range or set of tag usually not difficult. If in HTTP header could even do in OPTION response before any data sent.
If they want for "app store" maybe become difficult. Then recommend policy maker to sponsor standard library for check implementation.
Honest though any force to have block implement just stupid, parent should get tool to enable where want and get proper education on it, and child too. This decision of parent not fucking government. And education is government fail, not parent.
Edit: but also this more force of implement parental control than force to check user. Enforce should really be on website to send correct information and then parent decide what to do with.
