It would be relatively easy to develop kid's devices with firmware that only permits limited whitelisted content, allowing parents to ban them completely from the rest of the internet by forbidding access to what would become 'adult' devices by default - ordinary smartphones. A more workable solution for all concerned. When they hit the age of majority, they can own and use a smartphone.
