From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Right so mixed content steam already has parental controls specifically with an allow list
GOG provides individually installed games, so you can control its access with
guidContent players pretty much all have child accounts
Even locally hosted ones, like Plex already have parental controls built-in (mostly via allow lists)
What other kinds of mixed content applications are there that already do not have some kind of parental controls implemented which are likely to actually make use of this?
I am honestly struggling to find specific examples of the types of applications which have mixed content, don't have parental controls or at least allow lists built in and are likely to actually implement this change. Again you are relying on developers to actually make use of this field, and outside of corporate applications (which imo are already likely to have some kind of content controls), I am struggling here to see why an indie developer would bother?
