Governments and some religious nutjobs.
They only pretend to care about children. It is about power and control. Always has been, always will.
Don't be fooled, that's not the real reason. Parents that shove iPads in front of their children are not even remotely worried about what their kids are watching online. This is purely about control, has nothing to do with children.
