MODERATORS
These are adult online communities. They are not communities for children. My Facebook feed is not something I would like a child to see or interact with, and I would consider it pretty tame. Algorithmic feeds that amplify minor / random views into a torrent of reinforcement is not what kids - or adults, actually - need.
People should be allowed to decide for themselves what they want to see. If they agree with you and think they don't want to see certain things, then great, they can enable the kids filter, which is usually an easy toggle in settings. If they don't agree with the makers of the app what is suitable for children, they should also have the option to see the rest of the content.
Children rather infamously require assistance from adults with this sort of thing.
Assistance, if they voluntarily choose to censor their own feed, is quite different from censoring it without the consent of the child.
