We use the Google Families setup to provide some safety features (location), and have device schedules to limit constant use. Families also shows which apps are used, and for how long. We don't track websites, or filter them other than for ads. I also use the similar setup on the google wifi (now nest) mesh devices, to have schedules so that time limits are enabled for all children's/media devices. They often ask for overrides, or extra time, and that's fine - interactivity over health boundaries. We don't collect any data on content, contacts, etc. Just apps and how long per day/week/month, so we can share that with them.

We have to teach our children to be good people, and how to process the world, and what we've already managed to process out of what we've seen throughout our own lives. If your strategy depends on censorship to provide a healthy path, I don't think it's going to be that healthy of an outcome.
